Several of those look more like cat markings than bucks. Sure you don't have a herd of cats running those hills?
Native, you certainly have some destructive bucks there. Are any of those gouges on your fruit trees ?
They be hard on white pines. You should get some depredation tags for big antlers on your tree farm. In Michigan I had 100 deer/1/8 sq mile and I was able to grow pines by just smearing some irish spring on the trunks. In Iowa with far fewer deer, bucks would destroy any coniferous plant regardless of soap. Bucks just didn't care if they smelled as fresh as an irish spring. However, I found that bucks would not destroy trees that had a plastic grocery bag tied around the trunk. While a bit unsightly and a pain to tie on and then remove seasonally, nothing worked better short of a cattle panel wrapped and staked around every tree. Of course, I know that you planted the trees for the deer, just saying. That is an impressive collection of rubs.

Interesting observation. I wonder why?Thanks G. I've also noticed that if a tree is in a fence row that I don't have to keep a cage on it. If it is a small tree, it will need a cage to keep it from getting the top eaten, but once it gets big, the cage can be removed and they won't rub it.
Interesting observation. I wonder why?
Impressive. Odd how each land sometimes only a county away will have a different preference on tree rubbed. Typically here it will be choice of Dogwood, Cherry , or pine depending on location. I assume the more fragrant trees are preferred.

Saw the title and thought, “dang he caught a liberal”. Talk about disappointing.
Them Kentucks are tough people. Just watched program of the attack on Boonesboro during the revolution during Daniels time. They survived 11 days of being attacked by the English backed Shawnee that outnumbered them 5 to one. Don't mess with Native, he's got that Caneland blood!!!Saw the title and thought, “dang he caught a liberal”. Talk about disappointing.

I don't know if I strictly qualify as a liberal, but I work in academia and live in NY. And after the year we've had, I might just line up and close my eyes lol.Saw the title and thought, “dang he caught a liberal”. Talk about disappointing.
