Exactly what I thought, but all the tracks in the area and all around the rub and the hair on the tree itself convinced me otherwise. I just stumbled across this spot. No sign of it on Google Earth, and no trails leading to it except some game trails that you have to almost crawl through. Just a little swamp head in the middle of the pines. No big trees for a stand, at least not to get a shot, but plenty of cover around for concealment. I WILL be going back there this summer to check things out some more and see what I can catch on film. Best part is that there wasn't a single human track anywhere within 500 yards of the spot.

The bottom portion may be from a deer, but I guarantee you the top part is not. Squirrels are known to commonly strip bark from cypress trees for nesting material. Also there is a limb rubbing on that tree from the wind blowing. A deer to make a rub that high would need to be wearing Sonny Bono platform shoes

You just single handedly ruined this poor guys dreams of next hunting season.
