Hi folks;
Went out this weekend with the young'uns along the Elbow River, west of Calgary. We saw some tree rubs that I couldnt identify. There are moose in there, saw one in Nov, and plenty of scat. Although, most of the game trails and hoof prints have been obliterated by the wind and snow melt. As such, its difficult to see what exactly has been in there.
The first pic is of a rub about 6ft up a tree. Kind of high for a deer, although, Im not sure how moose rub trees. Might be from a porcupine.
The others are trees taken from just beyond a fence. One tree is rubbed raw from what might be cattle or deer, the other shot - a couple of populars in the center of the frame - have what I think is deer sign.
I also included a pic of the scat. Im pretty sure its from Moose.
have a look and let me know what you think.
