Around November 17th or so I started seeing rubs. The woods I hunt was loaded with scrapes this year but not a whole lot of rubs up until November 17th. Why all of a sudden are the rubs showing up after the peek of the rut? Some are some very nice rubs (good height). Prior to November 17th a few good bucks were shot by neighbors during our gun season that have land bordering the land I hunt so you'd think there was less competition between the bucks. You would think they would've been rubbing before In early November before the breeding started when there was more bucks around wouldn't you?
The bucks have just now moved into our area this past week. We're seeing a late rut here. Before I left for the WI rifle season, nothing... then 3 shooter bucks cruisin through while I was gone.... Booooo! :D
