I do not go into this spot very often but had to go by it two days in a row. During the 24 hour period somebody had quite a sparring match with a three trunk cedar!
All three side where peeled like a banana!
Nice Rub!

Nice Rub!
I spent a bit of time this year prepping a new hunting spot for my dad. It is at the top of of a drainage that slowly leads to a creek. The deer travel the drainage and use this point to disperse across a wide area of native South Texas brush. I had a bulldozer clear and root plow a fan shaped acre and a half food plot leaving only the young live oaks and red cedars. The live oaks drop a tremendous volume of acorns every year, even the really young trees, and the bucks love sparing against the noble opponent known as the red cedar.

Re: Nice Rub!
Never seen one quit that bad but have watched them rattle the brush with their antlers. There was a bunch of does around so maybe that is why.

Re: Nice Rub!
A few years ago I walked in to a place and set up for an evening hunt ,I guess we gave up to soon . I went back early the next morning to make a long walk across 2 canyon ridges ,about 60 yd from where we were set up there was about a 3" choke cherry ripped out of the ground and about 3 ft of roots .... never did see the brute responsible for it but he had to be big to go with his hooves...
Looks like you have a good 1 working the place RD .

That looks like a good place to be placing your dad. Those funnels seem to always produce good results.
