Is this Bear?

[jaredpost]

I'm very new to bear hunting so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. This is the first time I have seen a peel on a tree and can't tell if it was bear or not. Also there was a stump torn up and lots of these holes dug in the area. Probably close to a hundred of these holes in a very small area. Thanks

definetly looks like a bear peel and a stump he worked over.  The holes on the other hand look like gray digger tunnels.

I agree. the first two pics are bear, maybe porcupine. the third is bear. the hole are diggers of some sort.

bear peel, bear stump, and the holes if wetside might be those stupid mountain beavers they make holes all over the place.

Thanks. I didn't think the holes were bear cause they went pretty deep but thought I would ask. It was over in the cle elum area.

over there it could even be badgers a few people had problems with them over there in that general area when we lived over there years ago
