establish dominance right? No, it came from the overflowing water troughDid you piss over HIS scrape spot?
You’re in trouble.
That's the crazy part. All of my property is fenced in and hot wire on top and bottom. I don't see any signs of anything crawling over the fence.I'd be taking measures.
I'm not sure based on the size of the claws and that dirt is a hard pack that something pretty powerful would have to dig in it. Our dirt broke a skidsteer fence post auger when we were putting posts upYou better hope that's a bear, because... what if it's not?
A bear can jump that fence easily. Or easily drop from a tree overhanging.That's the crazy part. All of my property is fenced in and hot wire on top and bottom. I don't see any signs of anything crawling over the fence.
Yup. We've had consistent, but infrequent, sightings around here for a pretty good while, say 15 yrs or more.
Several years ago a 500#+ female got run over on Hwy 74.
Which is not far from the @amnesia homestead.
You can borrow my 458 if you want.
We don’t have trees hanging over. About a 20 ft from the wood line. They would of had to jump it. I’m not showing any sign of it crawling over the fence.A bear can jump that fence easily. Or easily drop from a tree overhanging.
Thanks! I may need it. Felt a little silly out there with a ar10 308 😂Yup. We've had consistent, but infrequent, sightings around here for a pretty good while, say 15 yrs or more.

I told ya he’d never figure it out when we scratched those marks on his land. 😂I'd be taking measures.
That sounds kinky. What if the bear is not into that kind of thing?Just smear honey all over your back door, and you'll be just fine.
That will do. They are thin skinned and not having the mass nor the temperament of their western or northern cousins.Thanks! I may need it. Felt a little silly out there with a ar10 308 😂
Use alternative methods to attract themThat sounds kinky. What if the bear is not into that kind of thing?
Pretty sure this is a bear? Talk me out if it.
I've never seen a buck with tines that perfectly spaced.That looks like a buck scrape to me. They scrape their antlers in the dirt and pee where they had scraped. There are lots of deer tracks in some of the pictures. It looks as if you have some nice bucks in the area.

Hey @Gray ! Do you think it’s the same one from my post back in August?I have a bear that came over my split rail fence and ripped the siding off the goat cabin…on two sides!
I repaired it and it hasn’t damaged anything again.
But it keeps taking monster dumps all over yard a couple times a week. Like large pizza sized pile of crap.
Seen it once. And it’s big 400 lbs easy.
Very possible. Y’all weren’t far from me then right?Hey @Gray ! Do you think it’s the same one from my post back in August?
Regular visitor....
Showed up again this morning. Deck is 12' off the ground.carolinafirearmsforum.com
You concur?I concur.
If it were a bear lookin' fer grubs, it would be more of an X, one paw crossing over t'other, an' it would be into something rotting, sometimes only leaves. Kinda like the bare spot a turkey makes in the forest floor, only deeper claw marks.
