Not the best pic but what my real question is. Can you get an idea of antler size by the size of the tree that's rubbed. I've always been told that big bucks rub large and small trees. But small bucks don't rub big trees. And in my observation a buck is usually using his brow tines or above his forehead to rub. Leaving scent from glans behind on the rub itself. If that's the case the part of the tree with most of the bark being removed would be at the base of the antlers. In this pic from that point up the tree. You can see where his tines cut into the tree well above the part that's has most bark removed. Would you think this would have been done by a larger antlered buck.
