Good luck Ken!  The land I hunt is all timber and it looks like you have the same scenario.  

I'm curious what you are piecing together by the rub line.  Does John feel they will mostly follow a rub line from bedding to feeding?  Or, are the rubs concentrated around his bedding area and he gets up throughout the day to check them out....

the rub line is definitly his rubs and it is made between feeding ( fields at night) and bedding (thick swamp ) in the morning. he is hitting them hard and i truly believe it is just a matter of us putting time in (paying our dues!)untill we see him. hope John will chime in a bit as he REALLY knows this deer and its habits. now let me tell ya a little more about John. he knows how big this buck is (saw him twice last year) and knows where and why deer use the places they use in this swamp. i will take a lot of pic's tommorow.
