Sick Elm Tree

[Redj]

hello everyone:

I think I have a sick tree in the backyard. It is an American Elm, that is 90+ yrs old. It has 2 large trunks on it. The bark appears to be spliting in long gashes, like 3 to 4 feet. There are several gashes/slashes on each truck. I could pull it off if I wanted to. Do you think there are "criters" in there, that is making the bark separate from the trunk. Or is it just shedding?

Thanks for any help
