Fake bear sign.

From BearWiki

Claim: The "black bear claw marks" in the Everglades go cross-grain and don't resemble actual black-bear claw marks.

Fake Bear sign. Black bear claw mark was obviously cut in to the wood buy a human since it goes cross grain. Compare to real black bear claw marks

[edit] Analysis

Oppose: I think a man named Bear would know his own marks. Sheesh.

Support: Was that comment even meant to be serious? Besides, Bear is a nickname (short for "Teddy Bear"). His real name is Edward. The mark is so obviously fake (with all of the straightline cuts, including the glaring "top of the paw" straight line) that it seems amazing that anybody would have bought into it even if it hadn't gone against the grain.

Support: Bear himself admits he "doesn't know much about bears" in the pilot episode, and certainly demonstrates this in his bear advice.

Neither: I am fairly certain that comment was meant to be humorous, learn to take a joke.
