CD OP 10 point C Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 3,827 Jackson County	Ran across this today and wondered if anyone knew what would do this? There were two, maybe 100 yards apart, both the same size. From a distance, I thought they were giant rubs, but it almost looks like teeth marks. It does look like a deer rubbed it down low, but do deer eat sumac bark? The tops and bottoms almost look like they were cut with a knife. Any ideas? Sasquatch? Last edited by CD; 04/02/25 07:12 PM.

Anyone ever seen a porcupine in north Alabama? Seen several in Bankhead. Really? Ive been around in that forest since the 90's and have never heard of a sighting. How recent? I did see them in S. Dakota. My buddy made the mistake of trying to roll over a road kill one with his boot. FYI the barbs will stick in boots, said boots will leak afterwards. Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!
