Massive Rub!! Need Help Identifing.
Need some help and or opinions.. is this from a deer, bear, cougar, or is it someone screwing with me and man made. The tree itself is about 8-10 in in diameter to give reference. Please give me your thoughts and or explanations as to why you think you think.. Thanks

Most rubs that I have seen in my area are on trees that are smaller in diameter...like in the 3-4 inch range. The higher up the rub the bigger the buck...

we have had massive deer come off our property before... 16 pt with 22" inside spread...it had a 3rd horn coming from middle of head, 11 pt with 24.5" inside spread, 11 pt with a rack so thick couldn't get hands around it and 18" inside, 9 pt with tines over 10" and the rack stood over 1.5' over his head...so we do have big deer (no we are not a ranch) but haven't seen a tree this tore up before...
