May I suggest looking for any cedar trees in your area, because the bucks love the smell of cedar on there antler's. Look for decent sized or small saplings around a bucks core area that he claims to be his territory....like near the edges of fields, wood lines and the tops of ridges.

The cedar tree rub will turn into a yearly traditional rub, for mostly any buck out there. I've had big bucks rub on wooden railroad poles. Usually...the bigger the rub --- the bigger the buck --- though big bucks will tear-up bushes in order to strengthen there neck muscles.

Most buck rubs...besides the small ones, will have the rub covering only one side of the tree. Buck rubs are favorite hangouts for deer ticks...because the buck will sometimes rub off a deer tick or two.
