Deep draws?
High on the ridge line?
Middle of the hill side?
Small flats on a large hill side?

I've seen blacktail rubs in all of those. I don't claim to be an expert, but I haven't found any evidence that they make a "line" the way a whitetail might. In fact, although blacktail may have certain habits, I don't know of any way to "pattern" them like you would a whitetail. I do know that when I find blacktail rubs it is normally in the thick stuff.

More of a perimeter than a line. I'll ad that although they'll rub just about anything, I've seen more rubs in a grove of Alders than Evergreens.

While hiking around I was thinking it would be a great idea if I could pattern a typical blacktail. BTW, I SUCK at killing blacktail. I just kill the little fellas no big pig's.
I am hoping to start learning more this seasons rut.
Thanks for the responses.
