What BEAST did this damage ?
I found this tree last fall but lost the pics.So i went back to retake them .This tree is about 20 feet high at the top, it was ripped off at 12 feet.The top ,along with all the branches are laying next to it. It is all ripped up,with deep scores into the tree.
Thats my walking stick with my hat on top,stick is 6 feet tall.
side view
Here's the top chunk
Pic of the deep cuts into tree
One more.
last pic of cuts
Is this from a bear that climbed up the tree, clawing his way up and at the top the tree snapped off ?

I don't know - I'm at a loss! Bigfoot?? The rabits got to the top that is on the ground but if the tree was alive, I don't know what would have broken it off. Bear would but I don't know why he'd be up there unless he was after a critter or something.

it was Dan. I saw those same marks after he crawled up a tree at pig fest trying to get an angle on a big boar.

I think your right it was probably a bear. Can't think of what else it would be. Cool stuff!

I really wish I hadnt deleted the pics I had when this was fresh last fall. At first I thought ,mabey a moose,but Cougar wow mabey.We have had them around where I hunt . My sisters dog was ripped up by one last year,and my dad shot at one too !
I chased one out of a marsh during a deer drive.

We dont have cougars here, unless you count the one that attacked a jogger in KCMO.
