The reason I ask is we went to a new lease in Menard County and its only a couple hundred acres and just from the roads we saw 25 or 30 rubs going from the 2 blinds we have. Is that a lot or do deer use multiple trees?

Yet I have pictures on cameras of at least 10 different 6+ point bucks. It's weird......... I have the opposite.. 7 rubs within 80 yards of my feeder and I have yet to see the maker. Hoping I can catch him on the game cam soon... No scrapes so far, but I haven't walked around much, don't want to disturb them. Last edited by Estexan07; 11/03/09 07:43 PM. SFASU - Computer Science

Haven't seen many this year though i know the deer are there(been doing a little bowhunting). Did see a couple big rubs saturday while filling feeders. Definitely got me excited about this coming weekend. One was probably 6 inches in diameter. Last edited by teacherboy; 11/04/09 03:17 AM.
