  My god man we've got to trade a bow hunt. We have bucks here that average in the 120's
 but we see 130's a 140 now and then.  Two years ago 2 farms over they rifle killed a 159" 10 point. AGED AT 5 1/2 222 #'s I've hunted age for years so if he's 4 1/2 I send a arrow.

  My old friend crooket arrow LIVED BY THE BOW I'd starve if I couldn't ride to wallmart. He was like grandaddy If you don't shoot you'll never know. Crooket arrowed say if I can get blood I'll find him and he wasn't kidding.
  He made me a tracker I stuck with him all day lots of days. Every set of tracks he'd follow as far as he could. We did this 100's of times before long your going from 10 yards to 100's of yards.

  We tracked down a doe with a fawn. I picked the track. It took use 3 hours for us to get 400 yards. He got to 15 yards shot the fawn With a HICKORY 56"25@47# BOW DOGWOOD ARROW obsidian point. I've never seen him use anything but knapped points. Got me started I've killed 5 mature bucks and 3 gobblers with my own knaped heads.

 I shot a buck on NOV.20 th gut shot him never found him yet still looking.

I know in the short ten years I know ed him. I know he killed 30 deer using his method of STILL HUNT to he saw the deer then stalked the deer. Letting the deer to most of the work Lots of times he's just cut the deer off. And let the deer come to him. HE WAS A TOTAL MEAT HUNTER.
  He had a wife and what they didn't grow. He killed do kinding when he got low on meat he went hunting for real. We ride down to the store.

  PM ME I JUST LIKE TO TALK

Pappy:
Yep that is a nice one for sure. :) I think in general yall are right on big rub= big buck but I have seen little bucks rub big trees before several times.  ;)

H Rhodes:
Yeah, i agree with you Pappy.  You can't tell for sure from tracks, rubs, or scrapes.  I watched a little forkhorn scrape out a place big as a dining room table last year.  I think every deer is different and you never stop learning new things about them.   

Pappy:
So true and when you think you have learned it all they will show you how wrong you were, nice buck by the way. Pappy

monkeyball:
This was the biggest I have found in the area I hunt. This was this year and that is a 64" recurve. Big rub!
