BWH,

Wow!!! After reading your posts I'm ready to hit the mountains!!!! Such a fine account of a hunter that not only loves the Big Woods but has a true appreciation & respect for our great hunting sport.

I've hunted the Big Woods of Sullivan County almost 100% of my 42 years hunting & enter those majestic mountains with just as much enthusiasm as I had on Day Number One! Sometimes with even more as i get older & crazier!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have already marked my Work Outlook Calendar for the 2006-2007 Hunting Seasons which includes "at minimum" taking the entire first week of early ML, Bear Season, First Week of Regular Deer Season. I also love hunting the Last Week of Late Flintlock which is also reserved.

As I look at the tremendous Rub Pic you posted it sends another Big Woods Hunter mind dreaming about that trophy of a lifetime just awaiting my greeting. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for sharing & sure hope you get a crack at that Mountain Monarch! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif

RB,

I think the BIG Ole Boy AKA "The Mountian Monarch" that did this(below) has more potential to leave you with a Opening Week At Big Woods Camp memory second to none! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I would be out for him opening week & go back to ur property second week. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The other rub...could be one of those lil agressive spikers! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

RB,

While I was up turkey hunting out of my Sullivan County Camp last week I saw a rub similar to your Big Boy's (maybe just a tad smaller /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif). It was about 40 yards from where I have a ladderstand out since early ML Season. I've taken several decent bucks from this stand but this rub is one of the best ive ever seen. Wish I woulda had my digital along. I will be in there bear huntin so maybe I'll take a pic then. Man, seein those great rubs really gets me all out of whack!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sounds like you have some great options there ahead of ya. Nice your Bro missedagain ( I like that name! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) is also in the quest for the Mountain Monarch! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif:
