Thread: Fallow buck rubbing? a bit pic heavy?

It doesn't look fresh enough, to me, to be antler rubbing of this season. Also, no small frayed and attached pieces of trunk / bark that remain after a good rubbing session. I'm not an expert by any stretch, I'm merely making the comparison to what I have observed in known antler rubbings. I would discount it but certainly cannot explain a possible cause. Maybe natural or possibly whippy stems of adjacent trees rubbing on these trunks in stormy weather ... ??
