Good morning,

I've been hunting for awhile, but am new to deer hunting in the midwest. I'm on public ground. There is a horse trail that is the primary trail into and out of the woods I hunt. This morning on my way out of the woods, I saw 2 different areas with fresh rubs. One of the areas also had a scrape. Both areas are on small trees (1 inch diameter) and are less than 5 yards off the horse trail. I know I've read a lot of posts about setting up on areas like this, but I'm hesitant with it being right on the trail.

Any advice?
