Default Does the number of rubs mean anything?

This past weekend a couple of buddies and I scouted out a new area we can hunt. In one area with a large number of oak trees and plentiful acorns lying around, there were probably 10-12 fresh rubs on saplings ranging from 1/2" diam up to 6" diam. These were all within a 50-75 square yard area.

Does this mean a potentially large number of bucks or just an overzealous few or one dominant one, or nothing at all except that there' s at least one buck there?

Thanks.

I would think it' s more than one buck makin all those rubs.

if it' s in a perty thick area, it could be a beddin area, or a stagin area. where they' ll hang out and munch on acorns till dark.
