Dumbest animal on the planet.  We use to chase them in Alaska . They would climb a small tree to eye level and look t us. We would rub a stick on the to get quills.

Last year I spent an hour pulling quills out of my steer's nose and face.  I hate those damn things!

We have one in Roy, that's Across the street from my girls property. It literally STRIPS all the bark from most the trees in the direct area. Interested site. @ First I really didn't know what to think of it. My lack of experience in the field led me to believe they were deer rubs. But there was some spots that were over 10 feet and I was like there's no way.

Are they scarce in washington or something? I want to get photos of this lil critter. Need to get a trail cam setup for him.

Any specific reason why? Just curious? Considered a nuisance?
I really dont know anything about them besides they like to eat bark off trees. Hah

I don't even have a trail cam yet.
Spent like 2000$ in equipment, gear.

Still don't have binoculars or trail cams haha oh man.
Or knowledge of hunting. Just bits here and there.
I really am true to my title "Illiterate woodsman".
I don't even go hiking without my 50lb hiking bag full of tons of stuff I don't really need.
Better safe then sorry I always say. Ill eventually learn whats really important.
I got more first aid stuff in my bag then a hospital haha.
Defibrillator, Stitch kit, Anti-Venom lol.
JK I do got everything down to a stitch kit and 200 feet of rope.
