Yeah, I was trying to talk myself into thinking they were from a deer, but it's the wrong time of year for the rut and they looked pretty freshOriginally Posted by Hawk-eye
Thanks for the report, Mustardman! I really enjoyed the pics of all those fine high country meadows. That was some fine hammock hanging terrain. I was wishing I was there!
Great post and pics. Beautiful country and a great campsite. Thanks for sharing

Awesome pics, MM...you're motivating me to get a better camera! Great report, too...I might take the family to visit that area this weekend.

MM, Those marks on the trees look more like elk, they rub their antlers on trees. Bears scratch long marks with their claws, vertically. Very defined and usually smelly.
Or a really tall beaver was snacking.
Nice pics. Thanks
Ambulo tua ambulo.
I'm with gargoyle on the marks on the tree... fwiw.
Thanks so much for posting these! I miss the west so much... it is great to be able to still remain at least vicariously in touch with those beautiful lands.
Elk are definitely outside my experience - the only antler rub I'm familiar with as an east coast boy happens mostly in the fall during the deer rut. Do elk rub year round?
Yep, they rub in the summer, kind of explains the haphazard pattern on the trees. Random shapes of antlers, random marks.
Ambulo tua ambulo.
