Bark stripping on spruce tree - 07/25/20 07:30 PM
Person called about a beaver chewing on several spruce trees around his pond. Bark has been removed on about a foot of vertical trunk about 18 inches from the ground. Only a couple of barely noticeable tooth marks in actual wood and they look too narrow and sharp for a beaver. There are a couple of aspen chewed sticks in the pond but no beaver is living there. Has anyone seen where beaver stripped bark from spruce trees or could it be from a porcupine? We rarely see porks in our area.????
