can these sign posts be warnings to other bucks, sort of a territorial thing as well?
Outside of does during the fawning season, deer are not territorial. They have a complex dominance hierarchy instead. Many bucks can happily inhabit the same area as long as each buck knows his place on the dominance ladder and shows submissiveness to bucks higher on the dominance ladder when they encounter each other.

i just like seeing the huge rubs...then i don't gotta wonder who made it.
I love finding those big cedar trees like BSK said.Been hit year after year.Would like to see all the bucks that have hit this one tree i know of..mmmmmm
In one of the first major studies on signpost rubbing behavior, my mentor used trail-cams to photograph deer interacting with long-established signpost rubs. He caught pictures of as many as 14 different MATURE bucks working the same signpost rub in a single season.

In that research project mentioned above, 95% of buck interactions with signpost rubs occurred at night.
