The pictures make me wonder how a big buck would make that rub with the other saplings being so close to the tree that was rubbed. Shouldn't there be some marks on the closest tree on the right? I think it's kind of odd.
Do you have any neighbors who might have been playing a prank and made that rub themselves?

yeah I thought it was odd the way none of the others were even touched and that one tree was mutilated, that is why I posted this pic. Also, it is all the way around the tree and seem it would be hard for a deer to get at it from every angle. Ive seen huge deer tracks this year but wasnt sure if this was a rub or a bear or something else. This is private property owned by my grandfather and no one goes back there besides me and him. Besides, I had to crawl under briars to a small open area in the middle of very, very thick brush. I dont know why someone would trespass on private property to make a rub way back in the middle of the woods where no one would even see it. If anyone has any further opinions...please post...

if its high and low, its probably just the bark falling off a dead tree. thats what it looks like if you look above teh "rub" looking thing could be a rub, but i'd have to see it first hand to decide. another reason i woudl say its not a buck is because none of the other trees are molested. there should be at least some antler marks on those trees. a good buck would probably rub them trees all up, not just pick one out and rub the heck outta that. i've never seen a little set of trees in which just one of them has had the snot rubbed out of it while the others stand there a ok.

It is probibly a buck. I was wondering also how it was so close to the other tree and still ripped on all sides. Big bucks tear up some mess. Good luck hunting him!!!
