Title: Rubs
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on September 08, 2015, 10:58:33 AM: I just got back from a scouting and can not believe the number of rubs I saw.
1st one, I thought cool...
Then I just got tired of seeing them.
I am talking scouting, looking for sign...
Everywhere I went, more rubs...
I quit paying attention to them.
I did not do any calling, but did meet one idiot just blowing a bugle every 5 minutes as he hiked logging roads. :bash:
But really, I saw a lot of rubs.
Everywhere I went.

STIKNSTRINGBOW, I have been seeing some good aggressive rubs this year too. Maybe you're seeing more 'cause you're covering more ground later in the month because of the late start this year :dunno:

Can't wait to see you Friday.

Sometimes people don't know any better with when to bugle, hopefully you explained it to the guy.
