I don't know if he did it or not, but MAN that is one nice buck!

RE: Do you think he could have done it?
 

Great buck and very impressive rub.

My first guess would be that a larger buck made that rub....but after looking at the pic, it seems the brow tines match up perfectly.

Lookin damn good either way.;)

I never said it was a spike.;)

Deer often rub with their head tilted at an angle, not straight on. While brows often leave the marks on smaller trees,I doubt it's the brows alonethat made those scars on the rub in question.
While the buck you pictured could have made that rub, it's much more fun to assume it was a much, much bigger deer!;)Nice pics.

That buck in that pick would only be .25 years old here in Virginia :)

Greg, I hunt a fairly heavily hunted area. I have in the past 2-3 years found a remote area that I have never seen anyone around besides my hunting partner on occasion. I have found massive rubs on cedar trees that border on ridiculous for these parts...for example on the last day of hunting season I found a massive rub/ high and shredded to the max on a 10 inch tree on the way out through a funnel I had never walked...I have seen these rubs for 3 years now but have never spotted the brute/brutes making them. I am thinking I am entering my stand incorrectly in the morning or hunting reverse of what I should...IE mornings when I should enter in the evening for example. Been tough but I know they are there.

I agree with Charlie and say that it was a spike[8D]

RE: Do you think he could have done it?
 

I would say it's quite possible that buck made it
this is a common rubin my area

RE: Do you think he could have done it?
 

I do not think it was the same buck, the brows on your camera buck are wider apart(they are well up the beam) than the gouges on the tree.....i think:eek:

That's an awesome picture! I've never seen marks like that on a tree from just the browtines. It's hard to tell if it is the same buck, but could possible be...
