Ever found a telephone pole rub?
 
While doing a little late morning scouting today I checked out a narrow, sparse fencerow while walking along a grassy lane that separates two standing cornfields. I've found nice rubs along the fencerow in past years indicating a good buck was around, but a first for me this morning..........a telephone pole sitting along the grass lane has been rubbed. Its definitely a rub! That is a first for me. Next time I return to the area I hope to get pics. Anybody else find telephone pole rubs? Looks like I'll be sitting inside a fews of corn on a stool Friday and Sunday.

No, but a guy I used to hunt with was hunting this buck that was rubbing on a train track timber that was propped up beside a tree. It was company land and one of the big shots from corp. came down and hunted out of his stand and killed it. It was a monster 14pt.

That's a cool picture GregH. Can't say I've seen that before...only pole mutilation done by black bears.

I have photos of two of them but don't feel like messing around with photobucket to post them.

The only telephone poll I saw rubbed was rubbed by a Buick.[&:]

Never seen a telephone pole rubbed, but have seen many fence posts rubbed.

Found a wooden fence post (creasoted sp!!) almost rubbed in two along a timber here in Iowa. That deer worked that post for two years and finally he must have met his maker. Sure woulda liked to witness that brute rubbing that post.

Have a telephone pole out in our pasture by our pond. Had a buck rubbing on it so set up a trail cam and he never came back. From the looks of the rub he had to be a big boy!!
