Title: Look what I found
Post by: Chris Surtees on January 26, 2010, 08:43:00 PM
Was out scouting, stumping, and shooting tree rats the other day when I hit a pretty good trail coming out of a thicket off the river.

Started up the trail to see where it lead and started coming across old scrapes and rubs. This went on for about a 1/2 mile until I ended up behind a pine thicket that boarders a feeder field.

From there the trails branched off in about 6 different directions. I took the one that head down towards a big draw when I happened upon these.

I have seen big rubs like this, except more tore up, in Kansas and New York but this is the largest tree I have seen one on around here.

i use to hunt down in lowndes county ,in the black belt region of south alabama and came across a big cedar tree like this,started talking to the game warden and reading some stories, a tree like that is more than likely a sign post (read an article about it in feild and stream),its where differnt bucks roam in and out and hit the tree to say hey ive been here, put up a good game camera and try to enter scent free and check it in a few weeks,bet you will be surprised how many bucks hit it.
