Title: Big Buck Rub
Post by: boneaddict on October 04, 2008, 01:19:03 PM: I fancy myself for spotting buck rubs, but I was just looking at this pic and sure didn't notice this. Take a look at that powerpole. Does it look like they have been working on it? The poor light made for a poor picture of the buck so I really never noticed the pole before...
