Moose are some Crazy biatches when in love....

Porky usually goes higher up for the more tender fresher growth. How high off the ground is that?
Edit. I'll roll the dice and say starved out beaver did that during the winter while the snow was deep.
I've seen where cow moose push over trees for their calves to get at the tops. Can't say I've seen them strip that much bark off a mature tree.

chew marks
That is the winter work of elk!
They chew off the bark in winter when the snow covers easier forage.

There are a lot of these marks on my land. I belive it is from moose stripping the bark off the tree in the winter and eating it. I believe elk do this as well.

I'd bet a days wages that it is bullwinkle. The ones I've seen before were on smaller younger trees. Thought I hit the mother lode until I talked to wise owl.

Definitely not a Grizz...either a melk or a noose. And "adamant" has no e.

Seen individual trees marked that way over time. ie...fresh -1 -2 years old.
Always speculated that it was not done for food but just something the animal wanted in his diet for what ever reason or maybe used along with marking territory. Teeth marks for sure and found with lots of other signs of moose?
