name the critter that ripped up this cedar tree

[Huntindad]

What critter caused this tree damage at my neighbors house. It is in Far NW Travis county, just south of Liberty Hill.



I went over and looked at the tree. Several of the trunks were stripped and torn up. There only seemed to be one tree and no others.

I checked my trail cam about 50 yards away...nada, Does not look to be consistent with rubbing off velvet.

ideas? I got some other pictures, but they are all about the same.

If not a deer check the pasture for Bulls, for some reason the cedar is an aphrodisiac for bovines.

At my place cows. Yours . . . Axis?

I looked and did not see taletale signs. Some of the cedar strips were found 20' away from the tree,

pretty bizarre.

no livestock out here. there are a few pigs though

Man that looks a little beyond a deer. But If your saying no cattle than that is the only answer in that county aside from human.

I have seen porcupines do that.


I started with nothing and still have half of it left.

this one tree was cleaned up. No small branches around. tree was easily accessible . did see a few gouge marks. here and there.

maybe a coon out for revenge?
