Looks like whatever it was, it recently ate a rabbit. Not too different from the junk coyotes leave behind in the hills of California. They eat lots of rabbits. The tree scratches remind me of a small bear. Mountain lions tend to shred the bark (more lightly than this seems to be) when they mark their territory while bears rip it off entirely (like your photo displays).
