    It doesn't look fresh enough, to me, to be antler rubbing of this season. Also, no small frayed and attached pieces of trunk / bark that remain after a good rubbing session. I'm not an expert by any stretch, I'm merely making the comparison to what I have observed in known antler rubbings. I would discount it but certainly cannot explain a possible cause. Maybe natural or possibly whippy stems of adjacent trees rubbing on these trunks in stormy weather ... ??

    Just from my experience its too high and around here fallow tend to pick on smaller more flexible saplings they can really tong up. Also the bark just seems to have flaked off and is in situ right at tree, still laying on the ferns. Id suggest its just luck and that for some reason those two trees may be starting to die.
