Horizontal rubs and rubbing posts..

[Bigslam51]

I just deleted it as it had my name vs. my nickname (IB). And I don't need any local trolls seeing that kind of stuff!! lol
I tried to update it to my nickname, but it didn't seem to let me. I'll try again later and see what I can come up with. We had 4 nice bucks hit the pole in about 20 minutes time. Must have been a hot doe there. The one you saw was a 170 3 yr old. We passed him during season, then found him dead come spring. Last day we saw him was right after x-mas feeding in a plot and he looked fine. Who knows just what mother nature brings...

You're talking about a YouTube account? I have mine under a nickname.

Buddy found him shed hunting. Just a week or two after I found the locked up bucks.
Pretty much bummed us out loosing 2 giants with great potential.

 

[Bigslam51]

That's definitely a kick in the sac

Yea. I tired to update it, and it looked like it was in my account setting, but my name kept showing up if I looked at the vid on youtube.

Loosing them like that makes you wish you pulled the trigger on them when we had the chance.
But if you do that, you'll never see what they may be.
We did well last year, but it would have been nice having those 2 around.

Wow always hate to find em like that.

Man what a pisser to loose 2 mature bucks that way, sorry to see your wall hangers go out that way.

Ok so I got the YouTube user name thingy figured out....

Here are the 4 bucks that came to the rubbing post over about a 20 minute period of time.
Just like you see on TV, a pretty typical day in an Iowa woodlot....

Wow some great video of awesome deer! Thanks for sharing

 

[Bigslam51]

Pretty badass right there!

 

[Boarhead]

Great videos and some great looking bucks!

Very nice IB

 

[finelyshedded]

Those were all very cool! It really shows how important it is for them to rub their forehead gland on it, more of a sign post purpose than a rub actually.

Thanks for sharing those!

 

[MoonLab]

Really cool, dude

 

[angelzd28]

That's some cool footage!

 

[Hoytmania]

Thanks for sharing those videos. That's some good stuff.

 

[Big_Holla]

Those were great!! Sure seems like they work it over well.

Where would a fella get a cedar post to do that if he can't find one in the wild

 

[OO2]

If I'm not mistaken a local lumber yard should have some cedar posts for fences.

We use pine for the horizontal ones. Good and sappy!
