I agree with you. I can't understand it either. I think it just looks good for the camera. Remember these guys get their salaries paid for by the companies they represent. I like to watch the shows too, good entertainment value when I'm off shift. I was shocked to find that some of these outfitters get paid 4-6000 for a big buck. Ones that are no bigger than some of the ones roaming around my 700 acres. I take everything these guys do with a grain of salt. Hunting from a box blind, set up by someone else, on a food plot, worked all season by someone else in an area loaded with world class animals doesn't impress me much. I am very lucky to have a large piece of land that carries a lot of deer. I've seen bucks rub the same tree several times during a season. I've also seen different bucks visit the same rub. I've noticed that they always check the scent on the tree before they rub it after it has already been rubbed once. A lot of times these rubs are in staging areas where the big boys feel comfortable. The last thing I'm going to do is scent up the buck's "living room".
