Any pics of closer up? Looks more like bear to me from the shot taken.

Not very many whitetail in the area and not very many muledeer in the area.   I think I see rubbings laying under the backpack but cant confirm since I wasnt there, and cant confirm if there was hair in the sap from said rubber.  Most bears peel and eat, not rub up and down which is what I think I see in the photo posted.  It would be a good guess that it was a blacktail.  Was there more than one?  There are just somethings a person cant have a definitive answer for reals without being there or having better photo evidence.  Again, I suppose its a good guess.

It is more than  likely an elk rub.  Can't say for sure without seeing it better but that's my guess.

Elk rub, I have seen blacktail make rubs like that though, there will be hair in the rub, you just gotta find it, there always is

I'd say it was a raccoon rub. Mating rub. When those old male raccoons get to rutting hard, they'll really tear up the trees.

Mark just because they legalized Mary Jane doesn't mean you need to partake:)

Are you talking by carnation farms? I have seen some big black tail while fishing the Snoqualmie, Elk to so kind of hard to say. Maybe BIGFOOT

That would be one small elk if that were an elk rub.  I would say deer rub.  Elk with any tines at all would have been aggressive enough to break branches on that smaller rub.  And generally elk rub randomly not in lines.  They might revisit the same spot over and over throughout the years, but they don't usually make scrape or rub lines.  Hair is the best indicator though.
