Your walks are always very entertaining and enjoyable. That was indeed a very cool tree with the hollow at the base.

That mark on the tree you found, I have one very similar to it on an Oak tree on our land here in Nova Scotia. Can't figure it out either.

Thanks RC...because of you, I have had several introductions to the swamps of Georgia.

In Michigan, black bears often make scratch marks VERY similar to the one you showed. Usually, close inspection with reveal some hairs left behind. Also, most of the ones I find are a bit higher off the ground.

Thanks again RC...god bless you and yours.  :wavey:    :campfire:

Nice Day out for sure RD.

I have heard that animals will lick a tree to death trying to get after salt if someone pees on it. That seems to be about the right height. This is just a guess though as they have not been pouring in for you.
Relax,

You'll live longer!
