Well, this is pretty cool!

Check out this fine buck going to work on an old tree with his antlers, during the early part of the rut. He’s enjoying working over the tree, leaving his scent and leaving that signpost for other bucks and does.

He’s a big ol’ healthy buck, too. Some guys would put an arrow through his boiler room, and others would let him walk for another year.

Props to Justin Hoffman, who shot this video last November in Ottawa, Ontario.
