Title: Rubbing posts 2013
Post by: Tree Killer 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.

Post by: boneaddict on November 02, 2013, 07:29:10 AM: 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.

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

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.

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.
