It was a small round tree, and I don't think we have the critter type beavers (that's for Bob-O) in the area. It would be a hike for them from the Muskegon River.
My uneducated guess is it's a critter doing some claw work? Don't know, but the pics were taken later after I spilled coffee all over myself early that morning when something jumped out of a tree and I was feeling my way to my truck in pitch darkness.
Do your best guess, because I sure don't know.
