Was this a bear?

[Craig]

Went to check my trail cams today and found this tree about 30 yards from my camera. Do you think a bear did this? To bad the batteries have been dead for two weeks.

My guess Mountain Beaver?

Does not look like bear to me. Scrap lines are too uniform.


Yes, Beaver!

My vote would be bear

By the way--which batteries work best/last longest in trail cam? (besides the ones you used)

Yes, Beaver!

I have only seen beaver eat/chew circumfrentially, not longitudinally.

My guess is beaver if you look at the claw marks in the close up shot, it look way too small to be a bear.
