Deer Sign Posts

Unread postby wmahunter » Tue Aug 23, 2011 11:34 am

I am always on the look out for deer sign posts when scouting besides rubs. Here is the best one I came across a few years ago.

These just let deer know who is around. Thought you would like to see them. This was in Fla.

This originally just started out with this small spot the year before.

Then it got ripped up from there.

what part of a deers body is used to work a sign post?

I love seeing big rubs, I have a few telephone poles that get rubbed pretty good every year around my hunting spot :D I set a cam up on one of them and I have had about 10 different bucks work that thing over within a weeks time

Usually the forehead gland. But in the sample pics it looks like the deers antlers kept getting in the way of his forehead being rubbed on the tree.

Good rubs are candy to the eye.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
