Question re. rubs and buck size
 

This morning I found a new series of rubs (three) within 25 yards of my blind. I haven't hunted this location in 5 days, and am positive they were not there last time out. Of the three, one was on a small sassafrass sapling. The other two were on 20'-30' hickory. The largest of the two trees was approx. 18" in diameter. This tree had really been worked over, from near the base toapprox. 4'up, on one complete side. Thelocationisdirectly adjacent to a doe bedding area, and I rarely see bucks in there. So far this year, I have only seen two spikes, plus the usual herd of does. I'm curious if there is any correlation to rub/tree size to the age/size of the deer making the rub. Anyone have a thought on this?

Little buck = little rubs
Big buck = both little and big rubs
But little bucks don't make big rubs like the one you described.

ive seen a big 8 point make a rub on a twig of a tree, than 20 yards late make one on a tree big enough to put a portable tree stand in...
one thing is for sure, little bucks wont make big rubs.

Yeah little bucks cant make big rubs. Remember that these rubs were probably made at night though. Find a funnel in the area that goes to the doe bedding area and hunt that on a favorable wind and post a pic of the brute who made the rubs.

IMO, the bigger the sign, the bigger the buck.
