I generally don't find much for sign or rubs but this year was different. There were a number of areas torn up by this buck. After a lot of work checking potential bedding areas I have a few options that I am ready to hit.
Most of these spots setup for S winds which is what we normally have in early season. However one spot is a backwards J shape and based on the buck bed and trails I think I'll need a western wind for him to come past. It will be just off enough that he should come N past me. Any N in the wind and I could blow it.
I'm really looking forward to bringing this pursuit to the beasts here. I'm thinking of shooting a video series for this one so that anyone interested can follow along.
Here are a few shots from earlier this spring scouting.

Rubs right in the bedding.
