I just deleted it as it had my name vs. my nickname (IB). And I don't need any local trolls seeing that kind of stuff!! lol
I tried to update it to my nickname, but it didn't seem to let me. I'll try again later and see what I can come up with. We had 4 nice bucks hit the pole in about 20 minutes time. Must have been a hot doe there. The one you saw was a 170 3 yr old. We passed him during season, then found him dead come spring. Last day we saw him was right after x-mas feeding in a plot and he looked fine. Who knows just what mother nature brings...
You're talking about a YouTube account? I have mine under a nickname.

Buddy found him shed hunting. Just a week or two after I found the locked up bucks.
Pretty much bummed us out loosing 2 giants with great potential.

Ok so I got the YouTube user name thingy figured out....

Here are the 4 bucks that came to the rubbing post over about a 20 minute period of time.
Just like you see on TV, a pretty typical day in an Iowa woodlot....

And one of the buck I shot that year (fall of 2015 - same rubbing post as the others).

Those were all very cool! It really shows how important it is for them to rub their forehead gland on it, more of a sign post purpose than a rub actually.

Thanks for sharing those!
