Thanks as always Peter. What a rub! Unusual for a couple of reasons. One: It is so "singular" in place. Nothing wrapped around the tree at all. Almost has the appearance of a monster whitetail with half his rack
A) Broke off
B) Genetically missing
C) Lost fighting
D) Fill in your own blank...
Also: Unusual that an old rub is located above it on the same tree. Older bucks, returning to the same route would indicate (usually) by a rub higher or in the approximate same spot. Odd!
Another explanation of this rub could be a huge "spike"...Whatever: Thank God I'm leavin' Tuesday for the Bama woods. My neck is even swellin'!
Thanks, Capt. Chris
