Montana People…

My wife and I are in big sky, and went hiking up cinnamon trail and found this… is this a bear scrape?? I’m about 6’2” and it was above my head. On a side note, tundra, Tacoma, 4Runners and tahoes are all over the place

 

Or antler rub?

 

Usually you can see claw marks. Looks like another tree fell and scraped it on the way down.

 

We looked for trees down around it and didn’t see any. Elk maybe??? BTW that trail was a freakin beast

 

Did you taste it or take samples?

Also, do you have any other pictures of the area, we like pics.

 

Samsquantch.

 

Here are a couple before I thought I was gonna have a stroke

 

Juicy!!!!

 

On our last wilderness adventure the wife made me take pictures of her posing with trees, I really don't get it.

 

That looks a lot like a bear scrape, but it's not. Those twig branches at the bottom only get scraped like that if compressed.

 

That’s a good photo. My wife liked that too.

 

It does look like claw marks. An antler rub is usually a lot longer going up and down. I say it’s a territorial mark from BIGFOOT.

 

I asked a couple of guides and they thought grizzly too. I'm just glad we made it back without meeting it

 

Porcupines like to eat pine and spruce bark.

 

I’m about 6’2 and that scrape was about 6’6 or a little higher. I didn’t know they ate the bark, that’s crazy! Kinda like squirrels like eating shed antlers.

 

Now I learned something new.
