Yesterday, while scouting, I found a significant number of fresh rubs. Consequently, I'm planning on hanging my stand in one conveniently placed tree with-in 20 or so yards of a bunch of them. I found one 5" tree with brow time gouges in it and numerous other rubs on smaller saplings--including a group of 3 or 4 saplings growing together that all were torn up.

My question is this.

Is a group of rubbed saplings growing out of the same base equal in "scouting value" to one big tree that was rubbed?
