[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5002859, member: 20583"] That would seem to indicate that they're rubbing for show, creating something they want to be seen. I've heard a lot of arguments over reasons bucks rub, with some pretty crazy ones from bucks rubbing tree scent on their head & antlers so they smell good for the ladies, to using the trees as a piece of gym equipment so they can work their neck muscles. The most logical I've heard was that they are polishing antlers, or they're leaving forehead gland scent to mark territory. One thing I do know for certain is that some of those gouges are quite deep. I have a sawmill and know exactly how resilient that bark is. It takes some determination to work it up like that. Logs don't get that tore up from me rolling them around with a hook to position them n the mill. [/QUOTE]
