What's done this? Squirrel? Lion?

This looks like squirrel to me, 8 foot a bit high aswell unless you got some big reds, which may have done a bit more damage!! seems wrong time of year for deer in velvet. im seeing quite a bit of squirrel damage in the woods at the moment.

 

solution= squirrel bashing day(+dreys!)

 

It's the wet weather.

Roe are in hard antler as they are the only species that grow them in winter, she'd the velvet in spring and cast the antler late November.

There are a few beeches (15-20"dbh) on one of my stalking permissons with the top 10 -12' of bark missing, and it ain't no deer going up there! Big fat squirrels watching from the trees are a give away for me. Sadly not the first or last time I've seen it:mad1:

squirrels are on a population explosion at the moment as there isnt many preditors about to lessen the critters if rabbits were in this number the old smokepole would be out there needs to be a cull on them imo.
