Thread: Tree rub?

Came across this fresh rubbing on a pepperwood yesterday, I was slightly surprised as I thought this was normally a velvet stripping and pre-roar activity? any ideas ? My thought was possibly trying to cast an antler?

I reckon Rushy had an itchy ass crack?

If it was a stag rubbing velvet and it appears reasonably fresh, there should be some on the ground around the base or caught up on the tree. If not I reckon your right and its from an animal trying to cast.

ditto

Looked like a few dag's lying about so that was my next thought

You cheeky shits. That would put my arse four foot six off the ground at the top of the scratching and three inches off the ground at the bottom. Everyone knows I am not that tall and my knees aren't up to that sort of bending. Clearly Gibo was dry humping it.

Or a young stag frustrated that he didn't get any, and still full of energy and frustration.

I have watched stags really huck up a tussock/bush/sapling for no apparent reason, showing off perhaps ???

Oh OK then the truth is the nut sack was itchy so I gave it a rub and then got turned on and a little bit carried away.

Could it be to sharpen antlers?

Deer rubbing is one thing but when they start leaving their beer keg carbon dioxide bottles lying about that is just plain tardy

I saw heaps of rubs like this on the weekend, I thought it happened all year round?

That's a positive side effect from the actions of another motive.

I came across a fresh Sika scrape two weeks ago. Same place I had seen a six pointer the week before.
Their hormones must be playing up this time of year.

I reckon your pole dancing skills would easily allow you to scrub that close to the ground Rushy?
