Doing some bear scouting this last weekend, I came across these marks on a cedar tree. Are they from a bear? Deer? Elk?

Looks like it could be an old bear peel...

Remember why we had a wide open spring beer to begin with, tree farms used to encourage bear hunters due to tree damage

I’ve only ever seen bears peel fir trees. Saw a ton of bear peel trees this afternoon that were peeled last and were that burnt orange color now.

Here's some examples of bear damage. Some images were taken yesterday. Some about a month ago.
