Bear Scratches?

Unread post by Mitch »

Hello All,

I'm hoping that you guys could help me out with this. Are these scratches from a small bear? I thought they looked way too small for a bear, but what else would it be? The area was probably around 2900 ft and was flat, with a lot of large rocks and boulders. Lots of little caves and whatnot. It's pretty much right before the ascent to Panther Mountain, after Giant Ledge.

Doesn't look like bear scratching to me. Bear scratches are usually very distinct and deeper.
