Moose rub. Too high up and wrong scratching pattern for deer. Too cold/wrong time of year for bear, and they wouldn't do several trees in a line like that either.

Thank you, James!
When we put mutual care at the center of every relationship we have, the world changes.

I found this article about moose rub and learned a lot!
Hi Jennifer,
Yes, this is most likely a sign made by a moose. I have seen it often on trees growing up in moose country. Winter doesn't provide much food so they go seeking nourishment from the inner cambium of various tree species. Scroll down to #3 in the link to view pictures and a description of what your seeing.

I was just reading about moose, and learned that the name comes from the Algonquin word "moosu" which means bark stripper!!!
