I have a new theory on rubs. The OG’s say rubs are used by bucks to mark their territory and show dominance to other bucks to stay out.
I disagree (newbie no clue guy) I think rubs are used by bucks around scrapes to let the doe’s know where to find them.
I have seen rubs close by scrapes and I have followed those rubs. I think a buck creates a rub line to help the does who come by the scrapes to find that buck not necessarily a track to his bed but close by.
I don’t think it has anything to do with showing dominance and scaring off other bucks.
