    Buck rubs

    in Deer Hunting

    Posted

    I have used rub lines to kill a few bucks and followed the line right up the mountain and waited for the  bucks to come up.From my observations cluster rubs are usually a staging area for them as they wait to enter another area at dark. The first post was from Outdoor life magazine about rubs.This is from another article

    A tree that has been shredded by antlers is the most obvious sign that a whitetail buck has been in an area. But with some knowledge of whitetail deer behavior and a little scouting, a whitetail deer rub can tell you a lot more. You can determine when the whitetail buck rub was made, what the deer was doing when he made it, the direction the whitetail buck is traveling, and the buck's probable age. Buck rubs may be the best type of whitetail deer sign in determining where your next trophy whitetail deer is laid up.
    Early Season Rubs
    Mature whitetail bucks make two distinct types of rubs. One type of whitetail deer rub is the early-season rub. These whitetail buck rubs are in correspond to late-summer feeding patterns. To unravel a whitetail buck's routine as he progresses through the season, you must understand the difference types of rubs a whitetail buck makes.
    Early season whitetail deer rubs are produced for several reasons. Scraping antlers on trees builds up neck and shoulder muscles. This is done so whitetail bucks will be muscled up and ready to fight when the rut rolls around. It allows whitetail bucks to release aggression caused by rising testosterone levels throughout the whitetail deer season. Markings designate a whitetail buck's territory, both visually and by scent deposited from the forehead glands. Other whitetail bucks may rub the same tree, adding their signature smells.
    Mature whitetail bucks make their initial rubs in September and early October on stout trees, usually 2 to 4 inches in diameter (see sidebar). These mark a buck's primary home range. Clusters and lines of them usually indicate that they were created either as the whitetail buck traveled from food sources to thick bedding cover at dawn or on his way back to feed in the late afternoon. Hunting these spots may be your best chance to take a mature animal before the rut.

    4) The Side Of The Tree
    Take heed what side of the tree the rub is on. Rubs generally point in the direction a buck came from when he made it. Remember this the next time you come across a series of rubs. Most times, all of them face the same direction. Many rubs (but certainly not all) are made at night. Because we know this, we can observe what side of the tree the rub is on and have a general idea which direction that buck is bedding.
