I finally got a deer to pose for my Cuddeback. It took almost 2 months of adjusting the sensitivity and trying to place it in the perfect location but it was worth the wait. Now I just have to remember to correct the date and time. He's not the biggest buck in my area but he will certainly do!  |

That is one of the neatest trail cam pics I've ever seen. Good job catching that rubbing action.
I set my cam up on a rub that was hit hard last year and haven't got a thing but button bucks and does passing by.

I set my cam up on a rub that was hit hard last year and haven't got a thing but button bucks and does passing by. This rub was one that had already been lightly rubbed this year, but I figured the buck might come back and do a little more damage. I've tried putting cams near traditional rubs before also with out much luck. It seemed I was always a day late in placing the cam or a day early in removing it. |

I set my cam up on a rub that was hit hard last year and haven't got a thing but button bucks and does passing by.

I've tried putting cams near traditional rubs before also with out much luck. It seemed I was always a day late in placing the cam or a day early in removing it. [glow=red,2,300]From a Hunting Information site..some feed back be good on this.[/glow] A couple of weeks before mating season, bucks of all ages develop an irrepressible urge to rub trees. By using the bases of their antlers, they expose the white flesh of the tree from about a foot off the ground and up. Anything nearing waist-height or higher is a sure sign that an awfully big buck is, or has been, in the neighbourhood. Rubs are visual and olfactory signposts that doubly serve as warnings to competing bucks and as invitations to receptive does. The majority of a buck’s rubs will be concentrated in the core of its home range. [glow=red,2,300]It will never rub the same tree twice during a given fall, [/glow]but it will return to a favourite tree in consecutive years. HUNTER BENEFIT: Rubs are one of the most reassuring signs a hunter can find. Torn up trees tell hunters that a buck is working the area, and the size of the rub will often suggest the size of the buck. Big bucks will sometimes make small rubs, but small bucks don’t make big rubs. So, if you find a tree that’s more than a couple of inches in diameter (sometimes as much as eight to 10 inches wide) with its bark torn off, there’s a trophy around. As well, big bucks tend to make rubs that go higher up the tree.  |

I can't say for sure but I find never to be a rather strong statement. I have seen several examples of trees that were previously rubbed, rubbed again in the same year. Was it by the same buck or a different one? I have no idea.
I have seen this a lot. Sometimes the bucks manage to kill a tree and return to rub another one nearby the next year.
I agree and would add that I also look at high ancillary nicks and scratches are above the main rub and how much damage is done to the tree.

I've seen a number of trees killed by deer.
The apple orchard and Christmas tree gorwers really complain about bucks killing their trees. That is one reason why the nuisance deer permits are for bucks too.
Scrapes? I have several spots that I know of that scrapes are opened there EVERY year without fail.
