That's not a porcupine?  Little chunks of bark, low to the ground, and each scratch looks like it's in pairs made by a pair of teeth.  I'm far from knowing anything about this but, is this a porcupine?

I may have spoke to soon earlier....

I took the photo and blew it up...  I would bet Porky....    Bear would most likely have done more damage, and the teeth marks are real close/side by side... almost beaverish..  but never seen a beaver attack a conifer like that before.

The peel is from a standing tree, not a stump.  It was quite low to the ground and i looked for hair evidence or scat, but found none.
