There no way of telling for sure what made the marks with out knowing more information. Such as how long ago was it made, was it there last week? Do you have a picture of the scat? Are there any tracks? From the picture it looked like it was made by teeth, do you have a close up so we can tell how big the teeth are? If it was made by a bear are there claw marks? If a bear used his teeth it would rip off the bark not eaten it.

I am thinking grizz cuz the highest claw marks were 9ft off the ground according to my tape measure.
Thanks

100% sure that is where a moose chewed the bark off most likely a willow tree. Although I have seen them do the same to aspen and poplars. Little bit of tasty chlorophyll in the bark is a delicacy to a moose during the lean winter months.
Most of the trees I have seen clawed up from bears are in spruce trees. And you can almost always find hairs in the scratch marks that can identify the bear as either a black or a brown.
