Fresh rubs flaring up? went upstate to the property i hunt in Chemung County and I noticed at least 10-12 (4-8") trees freshly rubbed up... Looks like the velvet is coming off. I have moved my stand to where i missed my 130" 8 last year and im all set for this years gun opener!

I've been staying out of main hunting area...but in a secondary part where I've had to go in and tweak stands and trails I just this morning saw my first two buck of the season...bedded not far from one stand and in great wind position...so after lunch I'll go finish up the stand prep and stay clear of the area till opener
