Hey guys.. New to this part of 4chan.. Been lurking when it gets slow in my tree stand. I was walking out of the woods the other day and saw this.. 2 questions. What type of tree is this? And what causes these marks? I'm in Ohio.
That looks like some sort of man made marking.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm not necessarily worried about it as much as I am curious. If you look at the base of the tree it looks like the bark is coming in as the tree matures... Hence the curiousity about the type of tree. I saw it there last year, and only found it again recently. Just wondering if maybe a small black bear is responsible or something of that nature
An idiot scarring up a tree
looks as if it might be a sycamore tree, the marks are most likely assholes putting a knife or axe to the side of it.

That's a beech tree you dingus.

And those marks? As far as I know, I'm the only one in these woods. Obviously I could be wrong though.

Some asshole with a pocket knife. Dudes carve up beech trees all the time.

Beech tree
Marks likely from a black bear.

Probably this guy is right, but those are different than other bear scars I've seen.
Def beech, though. And beech have nuts. And bears like them.

thats more what i was thinking. there was a black bear spotted like 10 miles from here and theyre making their way back into ohio. looks also like a manmade "A" though.

Look up bear scar beech on google images. You;ll see what they typically look like. That's a good size beech, though- the right size for bears. I agree that the scarring is a little odd.
