These scrapes are all on the same type of tree. Not sure what kind of tree but they have a slick bark.
At first I thought it was deer scrapes but some of them are in thickets with so many briers and vines I dont think a deer could get his antlers in there.

There is a lot of rabbits in this area but I doubt it could be them.

Rabbits main menu in the winter is tender bark.

Hey, this is simple!

You showed us two trees, but only one of them had a scrape! Let's see now, what type of an animal scrapes one tree and not the other?

I'm betting it's a unicorn. And let me tell you, I have been all over this frikken planet trying to find a unicorn for our favorite "female moderator" if you catch my drift.

Well, there's the St. Bernard fiasco. Sure, our girl rode the dog, but then she used the spurs, the dog raced off, he caught an on-ramp and they found every survivor in Juarez.

I'm a bit off my feed over this. Oy, vey. You don't think she got her old chaps out, do you?

Well heck I never knew they eat bark.
Googled it and found plenty of pics and info.
Thanks.

We just had to thin the cottontail at my son inlaws they are stripping all young tender trees. We had a good hunt and bagged 4 in less than and hour with no dogs.

Didn't know they nibbled the bark too. But it makes sense. Deer do too but the browse is higher.

Good manners dictate you always leave some food on your plate. So Mr Bunny was just being polite to his host.

 

[LetsGo]

Having to thin a rabbit heard is not all bad, they are very tender table fare.

 

[inceptor]

It's been happening here a lot. They found out it was squirrels. So you can add those to the list.

Dittos on that. Any kinda critter will eat tender bark in a tense situation. Guarantee a hungry coyote and human will eat anything.

I have this dad-blamed cottontail in our yard, I usually live trap them and take them to more country that we are. This one I have let linger a while. With this cold front that came through I stopped and bought some bird feed for the birds and notice the rabbit watching them from a distance get a free meal. I went to the farm store and bought the little booger some rabbit pellets. :vs_sad:

@LetsGo,
I have squirrels in the trees in front of my house, and I feed them peanut butter and peanuts. I feel sorry for them and I help them.

Squatches eat bark (good source of fiber) but we tend to go higher up so you can rule us out.

Mornin’ Robie.
Glad you could make it.

It's the same format that was used to replace an old style at another forum I frequent (way too much).
A few pissed and moaned but most agree after using it for a day or two that it is much easier to navigate and use.

Glad to be here!

Did someone mention Unicorns?
