Here are some pics of the damage I was talking about in my earlier post. The more i look at them, the more I am thinking it was deer.

I wasn't sure if those were teeth marks or bug damage.

it does kinda look like a small ash and that does have me second guessing myself.may be a combo.the teeth marks aren't from the borer though.

And those marks are not everywhere where the bark is gone, like something peeled the bark off in strips.

I have seen where squirrels will strip the bark from Maple and Basswood branches to use the fiber in their nests but that looks a little too ambitious for squirrels. Strange.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Looking closely at the pics it seems that the bark has been rubbed or chewed instead of slipped. I would have to say critter

That's not ash borer damage.
