Hard to tell in the pics but appears to have fur in it, I'd say,if it was around here, it would be coyote scat. May need more info though, how was the texture and taste?

Hmmm, better make sure the dumb dog is still around. Weiner-mutt would make a nice McNugget for one of them critters!

In that case it may be whats left of a coyote.

Hmmm, maybe something that came out of the south end of a north bound chupacabra?

As big as it is, it looks like black bear.

Richard P. Smith, in Black Bear Hunting, says 1.25-1.5 inch diameter is from an average sized bear, 1.75" is above average, and 2 inches or more is from an exceptional bruin.

There is a "Field Guide to Animal Scat" or something like that - maybe tracks and scat combined, that is in the Peterson Field Guide series, if that helps...

Kinda looks like the Black Bear scat we get around here late spring/early summer till those black/blue berries come in full bloom, which then it goes to more of a pie plate round soft scat with seeds in it??
Sure it wasn't some humans that drank a few merlot's the night before, was barefoot and stepped in his/her own ??????

I also think it may be from a blackbear.

I was thinking black bear myself. Where that was, summer is just not quite underway yet and I think I saw grass in it which kinda ruled out cougar. No berries to be found on the trails.

Not an expert, but black bear was my first thought as well.

We have a lot of bears here in florida....
and I saw bear scat daily in my old hunt club....
color is right but it does not have the berry seeds, grass, etc in there...
but the diet is probably different up there....
could have been eating fish or some other kind of meat at that point....

My first thought would have been Bigfoot but I heard they bury theirs so I will go with Bear.

Maybe "IT" isn't chewing it. Maybe "IT" is making it.

That was my sense of humor.

As for the idendity of the scat, I would go with bear as #1, a raccoon that had a big meal as #2, and possibly Mike Tyson as #3.----------Sixgun

I'd say it's a black bear, female, cinnamon phase, about 6 years old with two cubs .....oh and a touch of arthritis in her hips.

Would the presence of grass rule out a cougar? Just asking.
I know the wife can't grow any houseplants cause our cat eats them all down to a stub.

rjohns94 · Post by **rjohns94** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 8:39 pm

I think it would, they don't eat grass. "they" even say that healthy cougars don't eat fur, so you won't often see fur in their droppings, only in cats in poor health eat the skin.

Paraphrasing Cheech and Chong: Does it look like bear droppings? Does it smell like bear droppings? Does it taste like bear droppings? Must be bear droppings. Just don't follow him around for a week with a little plastic bag. It would do more than "weird him out".

Exactly my sentiments, No7! Oh, and it's black bear too boot.

How big do the bear run in your area, Mike?
