[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5279872, member: 20583"] The recent scrape thread got me thinking about rubs. Just like I've noticed different types of scrapes, I've also noticed different types of rubs. This rub in particular is something I've seen people replicate with mock scrapes, but almost never see in the wild. It's a dual purpose scrape/rub. The tree is a 4" diameter beech and has a licking branch. They use it as a scrape but also rub on the tree. It gets used year round, year after year as a scrape. As a rub it gets used by many different bucks in Oct/Nov, and a whole lot of sniffing attention from does. Does come by and largely ignore the scrape but sniff all over the rubbed surface. It gets used so much I don't know how the tree is still alive. By far & above, most rubs I come across are single use. Some are used year after year but only for a short time or only once per year, and those ones are in or very near a buck bed. This one is totally different. I suppose this is what folks call a signpost rub? It sure seems to serve as a grand central station. I've never hunted and not seen deer there. What kind of weird rubs have yall come across? Anything that seems outside the norm or particularly busy? [/QUOTE]
