Rubbing posts 2013
« on: November 02, 2013, 07:19:58 AM »
They began hitting the posts in the last week.  This buck rubs the post, then starts to walk away and stops to leave scent by whizzin on his tarsal glands.

The muleys went into destruction mode Wednesday and Thursday (Halloween) and really started trailing Thursday.  I couldn't believe all of the fresh rubs I was finding.  I've got two that I am really interested in.   THey are in areas that usually produce a big buck.  A couple of these rubs were epic.   Nothing gets your blood boiling like a fresh rub.  I wish I could figure out how to capture them on film with the same excitement.  Cool clips.

Those videos are way cool. Makes me wish I set mine onto video mode last time I set one out.

Thanks for sharing.

Always love seeing the rubbing post pictures each year. Keep it up :IBCOOL: I went over yesterday and had a little down time to scout around. The benchlegs are going nuts. Chasing across open fields almost every do had a buck or 2 by her. Was watching one dandy 3 point when a masher 3 came out to whoop his butt and he took off like a scalded dog :chuckle:

Have a bunch of new bucks hitting the rubbing post videos, but thought this bear video was pretty cool.

I found two different posts when I was out yesterday I was going to come back and photograph, but I forgot.  They were cool.  Both had a pile of scrapings at the bottom of them.

They're a central point where bucks of all sizes come and leave their scent and sooth that certain itch!   :tup:

This post is up pretty high, probably better go retrieve my camera before too much snow strands it for the winter.

I pulled my cams off the posts the other day...have some new locations at lower elevation to try for misc. creatures.

This is the same buck that I posted at the top of the thread.  Kind of a cool video with the low sun and his breath puffing out.

I was deleting a bunch of trailcam videos and came across some that I had overlooked, so I spliced them together into a neat little video.

Are you guys just putting a random fence post along a trail? scenting it with anything?

Cedar posts seem to work best.  I pee all over the post and ground at the base to get the rutting bucks excited and coming in to rub the post and deposit their own scent.
