elk rubs ......

[blacktailcrzy]

i found a hole hell of alot of elk rubs and i was just wondering what time of year they rub   and if they rub for the same reasons deer rub

[Instinct]

Are they old or fresh? I imagin them being older when they are shedding the velvate n markin territory. They usually rub august/sept time, i dont see y they would be rubbing this time of the year unless someone else knows y.

i found them during modern rifle season on the west side an they where really fresh looking

[lewy]

Elk will rub from when they are sheding velvet untill they are sheding their antlers, but if you found "a hole hell of a lot" of rubs in a small area they are more than likely from the rut when the bulls are really going nuts......

Its another hunter out there doing a mock rub. Just ignore them and chaulk it up to a lesson learned.

I've seen fresh rubs this time of year a lot of times, my theory is maby they sense the antler getting ready to fall off or maby it itches and they rub to get them off their head??? Just a thought I've always had.

Here's one of the biggest and coolest I've run across. As you can see by my Rem 700, it's a good one.

I was out looking for sheds last monday and watched a bull rub from about 40 yards and he didnt even have any horns on his head.

I was out this weekend settin up some cameras and found 3 fresh rubs.

with all the wonderfull and funny coments made,, most of the rubs you see are september and october. and yes they do rub a little all year, evan when they dont have antlers but MOST are from the rut.
