Will be gun hunting here some during rifle season

The first one was on November 5th, it's two rubs and a scrape all together

The second one was found yesterday and a pretty good sized cedar tree.

Bet I will never see the deer that made the rubs, but knowing he's in there makes me want to hike back and hunt there more. And usually there is some kind of deer roaming through there that I can shoot.
 
I love little cedar thickets! In a hardwood environment, the signpost rubs will always be in the cedar thickets.
 


Found these and several more the other day found a scrape 4 ft by 13 or 14 ft and the tree torn all up to. Dont imagine they would be worth setting up over but the scrape is right by one of my stands

Ah-ah, you know better than to use always or never when talking about deer. In the Midwest, I have found them on willows way more than on cedars. I spect it depends on whur you is and i9feen you raise Ga. Mtn. Curs. :) Howsomever, they do love them resinous trees.
 
Happens when you have a lot of deer using the scrape, has nothing to do with the size of any of them. A while back, BSK had quite a bit to say about this very thing.

;) Im fully aware of how it works, and have saw some scrapes that get worked year round and got hammered in Nov, but cant say ive ever saw one 14 ft long.

Your right. I should have prefaced my statement with "In the mid-South..."
