[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5279938, member: 17"] The whole science of signpost rubs is fascinating, and still not that well understood. My mentor, Dr. Grant Woods, did his doctoral work on signpost rubs, and was the first to use motion sensitive cameras to document their use, proving that they are communal rubs, in that once initiated every buck in the area uses them. As well, he documented they are traditional, being rubbed year after year. Another interesting point is that bucks show a real tree species preference for making signpost rubs, and my and others' rub research showed those preferences are different in different parts of the country. In essence, a species that is preferred in one area maybe completely ignored in another region, with a completely different top species for signposting. [/QUOTE]
