That doe must have had a pretty bad itch to scratch! lol Very Impressive rub though. Any bucks on camera or seen in the area that are suspects or is this a phantom of the night?

I have a pic of one thats a really nice 8 point(130+-) and a partial pic of one thats very wide but he was moving at the time the cam took his pic so its a pretty crappy pic.

honestly ive seen nubby bucks rubs trees that big ...I look for rub "height" rather then tree diameter. the center of a good rub should be near your belly button

I wonder if those are the main beams or brows rubbing each side of the big tree?

Big Hunt is dead on, Height is the key factor here. Those cedars are soft and get mangled very easily. Their bark peals off in long strands. I have a tons of trees like that at a farm I hunt, biggest bucks there would be really luck to push 130"

I would guess multiple bucks from slightly different angles. From my limited exoerience, Trees like these are like a fire hydrant to a dog.
