This appeared 4 days ago about 150 yards from the house.... This is not a small tree!  I've not laid eyes on him yet but I'm pretty sure it's not from the spike or fork horn we have hanging around.  I'm sure looking forward to making his acquaintance.

Nice rub.  Pretty low though.  Could it be a Couse deer?

:eek:   That Buck turned that tree into spaghetti squash!      Go gettum!

Clay,

No Couse Deer at my house.  I only live a few miles north of you and all we have is Blacktail.. Closest Elk are about 10 miles away, across the Lewis River above Woodland.... Definately a Blacktail!

Gene

Could be the neighbor. Didn't piss him off lately?

Good luck.

No the neighbors are happy with me at this point [ I think and certainly hope]    Guess I better becareful with the "Hot Doe Lure" on the boots.. He may want to get friendlier than I'm ready for    

This is definately the biggest rub I have found in the areas I hunt.  :eek:

OuchiMama that is a big rub! Really miss hunting Blacktails,I still think the toughest to hunt.I'd be looking for a good tree to hang my stand in,play vulture and you'll get em!

Look up in the tree Gene...that's a hungry porcupine.

That is one serious rub! Are there others around? Have you seen this deer?

Snag

Yes there others on similar sized trees even closer to the house, but they are not torn up quite to this extent.

Time to sit on the porch with a warm cup of Joe and greet him properly when he comes to visit.

WOW!  I sure hope to see some sucess pics from you soon.  I want to see what ripped up that tree.
