Do big rubs equal big bucks?
In this one area that I'm hunting there are about 10 scrapes being cleaned out everyday, there is also 75 or 80 rubs some of them are the size of telephone poles, the largest buck that I have seen in this area was about a 120 class 8 pointer, could he be making rubs like this or is there a nice deer in the area?

That could be the 8pt your speaking about doing these rubs, but based on the Large size of the rub in that pic, I'd say you have a BIGGUN roaming your woods! JMHO

Generally, YES. Big bucks make big rubs. A middle of the road buck can do it, but generally it will be big. And if you think I'm telling a fib, thats ok... I'll be more than happy to hunt that spot for you. You just name the date , time, and tell me the location and I'll be there.
Good luck to ya,
God Bless

This could also be what is known as a community rub, a rub that several different bucks have hit. I had a really big rub in one of my hotspots a few years ago and in a weeks time I saw 5 different bucks work on it. I remember a few years ago in one of the magazines they did a story on this. They showed a rub like the one you have. They put up trail cameras and the had pics of I beleive 12 or 13 different bucks hitting it. I know how exciting it is to find one like that. Hopefully for your sake it is just one big monster doing that, but it may be more than one.
