I always keep an eye out for old and new buck rubs --- Which tells me a buck is possibly in the general area --- With cedar trees being the most favorite tree a buck loves to rub his antlers on. I also look for bushes that have been thrashed by an antlered buck. You can also look for corn field patches that have been razed down and urinated on by an angry buck.

Bears also love to raze down cornfield patches.

Deer ticks love to hang around buck rubs.
