Is this a Blacktail Rub?

I can tell you it wasn't stick people, I saw the video on how they became extinct!

Seems to short to be an elk rub.

Will the hair be embedded into the bark or will I find it on the ground?  If this rub is from last fall won't the hair all be blown or washed away?

Looks like a rag horn elk rub

Looks to be more of a rub than a peel.  There are some pretty big deer in the hancock.  Right Hauler

The first pic is definitely not a bear. Possibly a bt but probably a small bull. Looks to me like there are some small slashes in the bark up high to the left of the split.

the hair will be in the bark or stuck in the pitch, any small branches will act like tweezers and pull the hair out, if its a blacktail the hairs will be about an inch to inch and a qaurter, with a blacktip mixed, elk will be alot longer and a deep chocolate brown

I believe the ones that are peeled way up the tree are actually porcupine.

Brown wolf.....

Some bear some rubs but the ones that go through and up the tree are porupine

I've heard porcupines do a lot of damage but, I was also told the bears do that too. There were probably 20+ trees freshly peeled in the area I took those photos. Bear crap everywhere.

To the OP..........You got blacktail rubs all day in your pics no doubt about it

Some of the latter pics are bear and prob porky up high seeing as none of those small branches are busted up much. I think a bear would have snapped a bunch of them small limbs    

[billythekidrock]

The last two peeled tree pics show bear peels. They will climb and peel the whole tree if it tastes good.

In this cropped, rotated and zoomed portion of your photo you can see a large piece of bark peeled that landed in the limbs.



Remember, cubs peel too.
