Rub

I followed this white-tailed deer buck around for an hour or half or so on Thanksgiving morning. He moved through prairie clearings, dense brush, and open woodlands, clearly in search of a hot doe. Every so often he would stop to work a scrape or make a rub. He worked this blackjack oak sapling over particularly well, raking his antlers against it and sending bits and strips of bark flying through the air. He had interesting forked brow tines that probably helped in this effort.
