ye olde rubbing post
« on: November 08, 2010, 07:55:48 AM »
Had one of my trailcam set up on this forest service road sign post for a few days.  Got some pics of several nice bucks and a bear, but it appears this camera is having some issues as the photo quality is taking a dump.  Here's a few of the better pics.

Yes, I had quite a few last year from this location.  You probably saw them on another website. 

Here's some from last year. I think this is the same buck as the big 3x4 at the top?

There must be something to this because I saw a forest service post that was rubbed up here in WA. I would put a camera out on it but I think the area gets too much human traffic and I would end up with a stolen camera.

Rubs are funny that way.  My buddy had a tree in his yard just dessimated by rubs.  It was too close to houses to hunt, but he would flip on his flood lights and has seen elk and deer horning it, a bear clawing it and a couple different bobcats scratching away, coyotes pooped at the base and his dog would piss on it regularly.  Everything that walked by had to take a shot at that darn tree.  It finally rotted out and got pushed over, but its funny how animals target certain things.

Cool Pics. 

I wonder if a guy couldn't make his own rubbing post, and somehow lure the game into picking on it?

The posts the USFS use are pressure treated and have a very distinct odor, a little different then creosote.  It took me several years to locate a post on an abandoned road to hang a trailcam on, was afraid of theft or vandalism on the ones on drivable roads.

Here's a few pics of other road signs that have been hammered for several years.  Several were rubbed in half and fell over.

Those pics are amazing. Did you take those yourself? Now I am going to be looking for those post everywhere.

They rubbed it so much that it looks like shavings from a blade.
