Similar to the other thread I just started, my brain got to thinking on a recent scouting trip. Several sections of public I have lightly hunted are covered in pine trees. The ground is usually covered in pine needles and the bark of trees doesn't seem conducive to rubbing. It seems that I find far less rubs and scrapes in these areas because of this. I have never found a rub on one of these pines. I find plenty of deer poop, trails, and beds still but it makes things a little more challenging to figure out where the killer spots are. Has anyone else seen the same and have any approaches to pinpointing where you need to be? I'm wondering if the deer will travel different/farther to a spot outside the pines to lay their sign and communicate with each other?
