Who's been pulling this stump apart ? Too much activity for woodpeckers.
What other animals (?) could be doing it ?

Without a "before" pic, it's hard to tell that it's been "pulled apart". To
me, it looks like it's finally broke down enough to fall apart. Maybe if
you dig around a bit in it, you'll see signs of carpenter ants or even
termites? If they're present, they could be the cause, or perhaps something
was trying to get at the ants/termites/whatever.

*shrug* just a guess. =)

I don't see any of those critters on the surface but there must be some
little creatures inside to make it attractive.

A bear obviously.

We haven't seen a bear there in about 10 years but it could be. We have
looked around in the soft muddy ground and don't see any tracks though.

How about a skunk?

That's a good possibility

Yup. Most likely rooting for ants or termites. =)
