Has anyone seen any rubs as of yet. Last year by the 1st of September we had plenty everywhere. This year I have yet to find a one.

NO rubs here in Texas yet, but it shouldn' t be very long.

RE: buck activity
 

Here in Minnesota we usually don' t start noticing rubs until about October 1.

Good Luck!

Nor in VA either.

Nothing in Michigan yet. Usually we require some colder weather to make the velvet itch...

Here in northern WI, we have seen several of the bigger bucks that are pretty polished already. They must be rubbing somewhere! The small 6' s, forks, and spikes are all still in full velvet.

Northern IL, saw only one area that was rubbed last weekend at the farm while we were hanging stands, I think I saw the deer that did it, tall racked 130s. He was polished. He' ll be good next year.

Just remember guys........deer don' t rub to get their velvet off. The velvet comes off by itself, soon after rubbing activities begin.

Good Luck!

Seen my first rub yesterday, it was on a small bush near a pond.

Spent the week end in the central part of Michigan. Not one rub or pad. I did notice they started slowing down on the salt...

RE: buck activity
 

saw my first buck out of velvet 2 weeks ago and started finding rubs last week in southern michigan. ben seeing lots of does and a few bucks as of late. the beans are browning and the corn is drying so it wont be long now till season starts. i sure hope i get a crack at the monsters i watched all summer long in my plots.

RE: buck activity
 

something is going on in de...i saw a scrape on the edge of a corn field 2 weeks ago?? that was different

RE: buck activity
 

Have seen several 8' s and 2, 10 point bucks and all were very polished. Haven' t come across one rub yet. Maybe one of them found a scouring pad and is passing it around to the others. :D[&:]

RE: buck activity
 

I have seen 1 small rub. All the bucks in my photohunter pics are w/o velvet. Usually this area has several rubs, but not this year.

RE: buck activity
 

Have found 2 very disticntive rub lines on the farm, hunted the northern line Tuesday night, a 2 1/2 year old 10 and a smaller buck came through. As soon as I get something other than a Southern wind I am going to try the other line.

These lines just came abouts within this past week.

RE: buck activity
 

I haven' t seen any rubs here in northeast Oklahoma yet. Seems like the past few years there' s been some rubbing activity by the first day of bowseason (Oct 1). I wonder if the weather has something to do with it?

RE: buck activity
 

Have seen several rubs where i hunt. I live in the upstate of S.C. By the way, opening day was yesterday for guns here and at a local deer processor where i do bussiness he had 137 deer checked in . Good day i' d say for a rainy day. Good hunting

RE: buck activity
 

I started this post way back the first of Sept. We still have yet to find any rubs or buck sign of any kind.

RE: buck activity
 

I have found several scrapes and rubs and I even took an 8 point buck Monday that was chasing a doe all around the food plot. A friend of mine that I took hunting on my land also saw a buck chasing a doe Monday. Pre Rut is on here in South Carolina!! Yah Hoo! Good Luck!! -- CDH

RE: buck activity
 

just started rubbing in Georgia about two weeks ago

RE: buck activity
 

Shot a 10-point a week ago last sunday on a rub line, heading towards a corn field. Our first rubs appeared about the second or third week of Sept. Now the scrapes are really starting to show up, especially this week.
