What poop is this?

Unread postby Jimmy wallhanger » Mon Mar 29, 2021 2:51 am

So I'm out scouting and I keep seeing these huge piles of scat. The first one I know is deer and its right close to the unknown poop. It looks liek deer poop to me but it seems to me in too big of a cluster.

The ast pic is the area I'm scouting thick swampy stuff


Thanks

Deer poop. Probably good chance bedded close to that area too.
I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

I see a lot of that in spring since deer are usually concentrated together more during the winter.

Here is a runway I found after snowmelt. This went on for about 75 yards on a main trail. :o
