Rub I found while scouting

[onebulletbarne]

Found this on a piece of private i hunt last year late December. How old do you think he is?

Tough to guage the height from that pic, but a minimum of a 2.5 year old would be my guess. The higher the center of the rub, the older.

It’s hard to estimate by the picture

Agree with @Danny Boy as far as references go. They do wonders even for myself for when I look back months later at the picture I can still tell exactly how high it is….without forgetting which I tend to do

Think you nailed it woodsy


Here’s an example of one I think I didn’t do a great job on.

You can see I didn’t take the picture straight on completely, and I am a bit too close, but this was more of a style picture I think

Older bucks don’t always rub high. When I found this one my first thought wasn’t “that’s gotta be a two year old”
