Ok on my walk I found what is it

[cynthiafu]

I found some other skulls but didn't keep them . Found this is this a rub or are they eating it.it does have digs in it like horns did it but it has me confused because it was not there last week.and there is another next to it.

But are they rubs ? Or are they eating the tree ? 

[Robhuntandfish]

Do you have porcupines around?

[Lawdwaz]

Looks like rubs to me.......where the heck is there no snow in NYS?

[cynthiafu]

Orange county never seen a pine down here but that doesn't mean they are not around

[Robhuntandfish]

The freshest one seems awful long/ high and since it's so late in season.....I am thinking porkys.

[cynthiafu]

I found it weird to be a rub but saw a 6 point still wearing his antlers .was so hoping he would drop them as he walked away

[mmkay]

Depending where u are it could be moose stripping bark, actually seen that down here in putnam...fawmnstock area...had a few moose down here. .one got poached in brewster another kill by car in golden bridge

Looks like white cedar to me.  Deer will eat it like crazy in the winter.  I've seen cedars stripped like that 8 feet high from when there was deep snow.  Both pictures don't look the same to me though.  The first pic looks like deer.  The second looks more like rabbit.

I have never seen a rub so big....I bet its porky's eating away.....

Where in Orange County Cynthiafu? I live in Orange too. I have only seen 1 porcupine. A dead one on the New Jersey side near Greenwood Lake off RT. 210.

I live in wallkill but I found this by gold's gym

Yes one was low to the ground

If you notice on the bottom no strips are present except for 1.  That is being eaten!  Pop a trail cam up!

^^^ 2nd on the cam. My guess, its a porky
