Title: Is this Bear?
Post by: jaredpost on August 06, 2010, 02:54:43 PM: 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

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
