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.

I watched a spiker rub the heck out of a telephone pole!!!

here's one.

good lord you guys must have some beasts around there if they are rubbing on tele poles!!!

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

Fairly common around here.

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.
