Default RE: Question about scouting area.

Don't get too hung up on rub lines. They are a good sign but the bucks may have made them at night. Your best bet is to find the thickest cover (bedding area) and set up on a heavy trail that goes into that cover. Then you can catch the deer as they go from their bedding to feeding areas. As the rut gets closer, bucks will use these trails more in pursuit of does. Good luck.
