[QUOTE="Winchester, post: 3435228, member: 2142"] That's odd 87, most if not all properties I have had access to over the years for any length of time (more than 2 yrs in a row) all have had signpost rubs. These are normally some of if not the largest in a given area, and will get reworked year after year. An example that comes to mind is in the Midwest where these rubs are actually on fenceposts where small trees are scarce. These signposts on fenceposts ha, will actually result in the fencepost being rubbed until its wears so thin it breaks in half. This doesn't happen on live trees obviously as they grow and repair themselves somewhat from yr to yr. These rubs will almost always be in very high traffic areas for the deer, and even though the older mature bucks initiate them, they will be used by every deer passing through the area. Some deer wont actually rub the tree with their antlers but will simply rub it with their forehead and deposit scent on the tree. This is where the story comes from people seeing lil buttons supposedly making rubs on trees, very likely just depositing scent. All that said, even most of my Signpost rubs are still dead as of right now this year. Very odd but I think its tied to our mast failure here where Im hunting. [/QUOTE]
