Biggest rub I have seen in our area
H Rhodes:
Great to see you posting again crooketarrow. That rub was along the river which is part of our property line. There are some big bucks that scrape and rub that whole area every year. This one is near a big bedding area adjacent to about fifty acres of old growth hardwoods where they eat acorns and I am sure he will be right there next year. It is so far down in the woods that you can't hear a car, just an occasional barge on the river.... Just thinking about it makes me sad knowing that I will have to wait until next fall to play the game again. The stands and blinds will go up three months before the season starts and after that I won't set foot in there again till opening day. I think that besides the peak of the rut, that first week of bow season is a time when you have the best crack at a mature buck. Here is a pic of his kid brother taken about 250 yards from that rub about a month before the rub was made....

Thats a nice buck but your right he did'nt make that rub.
Man you've got to live down in the black belt to have ALA. bucks like that.
H Rhodes:
You got it brother! Tombigbee River bottom, blackbelt soil... I am real thankful to be so close to such good hunting.

Holy cow thats a big rub! Thats a nice buck in that pic too!
H Rhodes:
I can't remember finding a bigger rub than this one Okie. My father-in-law took that one a few weeks ago. It is sad to see the season end. Where I hunt the season ends about the time the scrapes go dry and start to cover over with leaves. Now the long wait begins till October kicks it off again. :)
