[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5838137, member: 17"] Even before I started using cameras, I would notice this surge in activity. Every year post-hunt, I would walk almost every inch of my property mapping out every rub I could find. When doing this, I noticed that some of the biggest rubs of the year wouldn't show up until mid to late January. I learned to delay my rub-mapping until mid-February to catch these late rubs. I always wondered what the cause of the late rubbing was. After running cameras through this period, I've come to believe I have a population of female fawns born early enough that they reach puberty (sexual maturity) earlier than fawns in nearby regions. This causes a concentration of the oldest bucks in the area as they all vie for these sexually mature fawns, hence a sudden and often massive surge in rubbing and scraping, including some REALLY big rubs.
