funny you say porcupine, my friend also just texted me that. I wouldnt say someone busting my chops because of the location of this rub. no one hunts this part of the woods, i just happened to stumble on it. if they wanted to mess with me, there are millions of other trees that i see all the time LOL. Im going to sit in a spot close to this where i have seen deer, and where tracks are abundant. Im not a trophy hunter just yet, but If i put myself over there, I just might get lucky....

Im in Hudson NY. Last bear siting was in 2013. Its a possibility, but i really doubt it.

I get it that it doesnt look like a rub, but what is it?
-
well whatever it is, im sitting by it this weekend. hopefully ill post a pic this weekend
-
I dont know.... Doesnt really seem like anything else to me. What could it be...
-
Wood pecker doing that?

Lol. if someone went through all that trouble to get to this location to mess with me, they have too much time on their hands. this tree is about a mile into my property in a spot that no one hunts.

Of course he shows up when I'm not there

I missed a 6 pointer by 4 minutes.... -
Very true. Basically the best thing i can do is quit my job and spend 4 weeks in the woods. Im bound to shoot something right? LOLOL if only it were that easy...

Jesus, where are you hunting LOL. Your group chat sounds like mine. I hunt my private land. 125 acres. state land is too far away. My neighbors are opening day hunters only. I've been in the woods since bow opened. During Bow season all i saw were doe and didnt have a shot on any. then the week before opening day, i saw the big 6 ptr that i have running around. after that all the little guys. Last week was the first week i went on a drive. my property was set up by the previous owner as a christmas tree farm, and I have about 4,000 xmas trees in different groups. so when I go on a spook, im usually walking through the trees trying to kick up anything in there. guys on either side of trees to take shots on whatever comes out. This weekend Ill be posted up on a bluff over looking the stream that runs through where we think we saw him on a full sprint. couldnt get a look at the antlers, but the body was nice and big. Dominant Doe was also sighted there a few weeks prior. Do you use cover scents? Or any other scents? i've been using Tinks #69 for the Rut. Do you use Rattling antlers? when do you Grunt? When do you Bleat. Alot of hunters who taught me how to hunt were olde timer Greeks who would go into the woods and find a comfortable sleeping spot, take a nap and when they woke up the deer were 10 yards from them. Not really the best hunting tactic i guess......LOL

I was walking around with a couple of guys on a spook. Rarely do i walk around other than getting into my stand or switching spots. this saturday ill be sitting close to that rub, but not ontop of it. i think he beds down about 100 yards away from where that rub is. ill be sitting on the fringe of the woods. see the 1st pic

Hello everyone! This past weekend, I was in the woods doing a little walking around with another hunting buddy, and stumbled upon a Massive Rub. (take a look at the pic). During the early and mid bow season, i snapped about 300 pictures of various 4 pters, 6 ptrs, and 2 really impressive 8 ptrs. (see second pic). So far this gun season, we have taken 3 small bucks (2 spikes, and 1 4 ptr) off the property. (new hunters wanted their first deer, i know i know let em grow....) The other big deer are NO WHERE to be seen. MY guess is that this rub that i found is from the big boy, and he is pushing everything else off the property. The rub is located in a Hard-to-get-to spot deep in the woods overlooking a tight funnel, with a stream about 200 yards away. My question is: How do I go about finding this guy? what are some of your tactics in getting him to show up? I've been in the woods every weekend for the past 8 weeks, and havent confirmed seeing him except on the camera in August. The third pic is right in front of where the rub is. Just passed the first row of trees, is a stream that runs through the border of my property. HELP PLEASE!
