Great tip that yes most people don’t use. To add to that, I will make a bunch of mock scrapes along the old rub line and fill the scrapes with as much doe n heat as you can afford. Make scrapes about 15ft apart 50-60 yards long, then set 40 yards off scrapes on the down wind side with good vantage point. I can’t stress enough about doe n heat,lots… Once those bucks leave the does they have been tending they will revisit those rub lines. When they find all the new fresh scrapes, they will return hopefully for a couple days. I use this technique in N-Maine a lot with good success.

Mike, the rubline tip is one not used enough by hunters, It really does put you on consistant horns if you use it. Thanks for bringing it out. Good hunting
