What could have done this damage to the tree?
There are deer in the area, but the damage is easily six feet plus high

LOL, I should state these pictures were taken in southern England earlier this year (maybe April-ish). So I would doubt a bear. My first thoughts were of a big cat, but haven't seen any other evidence of them living locally, so am unsure (and hence posting on here for you clever people!)

A Chupacabra... umm, that was after a goat that was up the tree? :rolleyes:

or perhaps an illiterate youth attempting to carve 'I luv natoore' into the tree?

Nah - I NEVER go to the South of England - SW, NW, NE sometimes - but never the Soft South!

well perhaps a Ray as the speices spend much time courting the media in the south these days (Disclaimer -I know, I know, he's veen critically ill whith lymes)

No animal I know can do that to a live tree from how it appears, that looks like a crushung impact. Not beaver elephant cat buffallo.
