[QUOTE="woodsman87, post: 3435118, member: 12210"] I haven't seen a rub yet this year, but I don't go stomping through the woods looking for them either. I always try to hunt food sources or funnels during the rut. I have seen these big signpost rubs, but I have never seen a deer work one, and they never come back year after year. I do no understand why their seems to be a "norm" accross the entire U.S. where people have signpost rubs on their land, and scrapes that are used before and after rut. All my rubs are made only yearly, and do not think I have ever encountered a rub that was used the following year. Scrapes are always in the same spots, but that just means it is good licking branches and areas where bucks like to work my logging roads and field/thicket edges. They work these scrapes from Late october until about Thanksgiving, main chase phase in my experience is right around Thanksgiving until about December 10th. You read and hear people say that they return to work scrapes after rut, but it doesn't happen here. I don't know if it means they nearly all get killed, there arent many 3-1/2 year old + bucks to work scrapes/rubs, or what. That is why I am always so skeptical about what other people say and what I read. I have never encountered it not just on my #1 hunting place, but my other places that a go a few times as well.
