Default Look at this freaken rub!!!

I was out walken around I guess you could call it huntinging enjoying my day out of school...I walked up on 3 does of course no buck's....so I decided to walk along a wood line that I decided in bow season I liked.So I am just walken along really careful peaking into the wood's every now and than I walk 5 0yards and decide to go set in the wood's.So I do I wait 15 minutes and see 4 does walk in front of me after they walk out of sight I see a tree catch my eye.I look harder than I raise my scope and can tell its a rub here are the pictures...

13 inches around!




Top of the rub is pretty high off the ground


Notice how the little tree is scaped up to


The little tree that was scaped up as you can see was 23 inches away I think he did this seperate from the big tree but some of my buddy's think he scraped it while rubbing the big tree what do ya'll think

How big of a buck do you think did this?

Couple of things -
1. Take Binoculars with you so you dont have to raise your scope to see - what if it was a person.
2. Tree looks like it was hit by a car or 4 wheeler not a deer - there are no rub markings below or above the main area, usually you will get the g2 or g3 making its own markhigher up the tree and that little limb is attached above the "rub" if a big deer was on that tree that branch would be gone.

Sorry

Does kinda look like a tractor/backhoe tire rub, if it was a deer he is probably a hoss.

Nothing too unusual about a rub on a 4 inch diameter tree. Hopefully go get to see the deer that made it. It does look a little smooth. Rubs on trees that size generally have some gouges, but you never know, maybe the deer had no brow tines.
