Earliest rubs

[Creek]

I finally have a couple of young Oak trees protected now but I might do a few more later.
Approximately when would you say the earliest rubs start ?

 

[Ski]

End of August or early September when they rub velvet off. From then rubs can pop up anywhere anytime, but most seem to occur in October, in my experience.

I've often noted them the latter days of August,
when the squirrel season opened…

I've seen them as early as the last week of august but I see most rubs the first week of November where I live.

So I have a few more weeks.
Thanks

From years past it's always around September 8th & 9th when I'll start seeing hard antlers on my trail camera pictures.
