Title: Bear peel?
Post by: Kain on July 25, 2011, 03:39:01 PM

Found this on Sunday.  I looked all over and didnt find any other peels or bear sign.  This is only the second one I have seen.  Is it bear or porcupine?

the teeth marks are longer less symmetric....porkies look like a rodent short and symmetric bears often leave long shreds of bark porkies leave chips .... those are the two things I notice right away....

 I'd bet the farm on a porcupine. Looks exactly like every other porkie peel I've seen.
