It's hard to tell. Did you happen to see any type bark or shavings underneath it on the ground? Maybe pop a game cam up and see if it comes back?

I also had the same question about the shavings under the tree? I found some rubs this year that were amazing. The deer literally tore the tree into shreads and it was taller than most I have ever seen. And no, we don't have bears here. I got a few pics, but not of the certain buck that damaged the tree.

I don't think there are any bear in Takedown's area... if I am correct.

Beaver on Viagra? What about bigfoot? Doesn't he have claws?

Looks to me as if either a bear or a porcy was chowing down on some yummy white oak.

well i don't have any bear or porkys. There are no lines in it were the tines would rub. but I just don't no all the other rubs are about 8inches thick. there is also the same thing on the other side but lower.

It could be, it's just hard to tell from the pic.

You see the limbs that have fallen from the tree from maybe ice.
It looks like the tree limbs that fell made the scrape marks on the tree.
If limbs fall they will make places on the trunk just like that.
Its really hard to tell from the picture but it looks like.
The tree limbs falling made the scrape on the trunk.

You should have looked for some hair. I would think that you would find hair on that type of treebark if a buck rubbed it.
