Mysterious Tree Damage

While out in the woods last weekend I encountered this...

Tree limbs denuded of their bark.

These are perfectly healthy (for the present) ash trees and someone or something has come thru and peeled the bark from the limbs.  Completely shredding the bark.  It's too high so I cannot blame the deer - and besides the deer are finished with rubbing trees for the season.

There's turkey tracks all over the place.  Yet the tree limbs are too flimsy to support the weight of a turkey roosting on them.  Again, I've never heard or seen a turkey rub a tree.

Woodpeckers?  I shouldn't think so.  They peck and hammer and don't strip bark.  Have the aliens from outer space returned?

Who the heck did this?
