Description
Deer Rub by CarolLMiller Photography
Deer rubs are created when a male deer rubs his forehead and antlers against the base of a tree. In late summer and early fall rubs are usually made by bucks rubbing the velvet off their newly acquired antlers. During the rut and late season, rubs can be made by aggressive bucks strengthening their neck muscles or bucks just marking out their home territory. A bucks forehead gland will leave a scent to let other deer know who made the rub. Rubs are fairly easy to spot in the woods. They are also a definite sign that a buck has been through the area. I took the photo of this rub while following deer tracks through the woods after a 13" snow.
