Eating Deer Poop-Yummy!

Here are some tasty buggers I found, they went down a treat !!!!

They say that a little "Texas Pete" works great on anything.
 
I have seen moose turds that looked more like sawdust than anything. After it has made it through several stomachs, I am not sure what food value would be left. Also, I am not sure that the animal has much to munch on if you can not find anything either. People don't have the digestive system to break down much of this stuff, and I doubt you will pull much out of what other animals could not break down.
 
Since deer are ruminators they would have a similar intestinal flora as cows would. The E. Coli bacteria from cows is some nasty dangerous stuff to ingest. In a survival situation your immune system will be very compromised due to lack of food, sleep deprivation, stress and cold. That would be a dangerous combination to deal with.

I would just focus on keeping hydrated and take a pass on deer poo. I suppose if you really had a craving for it you could always boil or roast it 160 deg or higher then it would be much safer. Poo stew anyone?
 
I believe Bradford Angier (Spelling?) Said that some Native Americans used deer pellets as a thickener is stews and such.
 
I have heard that a person can fast, safely, for about a month and it is just the first few days that they feel like they are starving. After those few days, the body goes into starvation mode and digests body fat...but not if you continue to eat small amounts of stuff. I reckon that that argues against trying to eat worms, bark or deer droppings just on a nutritional basis :barf:

You're not alone. Here's one of some wolf scat I saw on a recent visit to the canadian rockies. Since it's full of bone material, I suppose it would be a good source of calcium for those of you who are into, um, organic dietary supplements. (click on the picture to see it full size).

I once played a practical joke eating deer poop, however the deer poop was actually raisenets that I had preplaced, it was a pretty good joke though.

I would truly have to be on my last legs to consider eating the real thing. Chris

That one could have backfired :)

I remember this lady in Wisconsin who sold scat jewlery. Lots moose pellets, varnished and made into earrings and neglaces and stuff. I should have opted for the t-shirt:

'my husband went to Madison and all I got were these crappy earrings'

He also said to lay prone on the ground in electrical storms and that down sleeping bags make good life preservers (PFD's to the young). Survival With Style, Stackpole Books (1972)

Thickener? Sure, but no calories as Any Cal pointed out.

If you could digest cellulose, why not go for the fresh stuff and avoid the middlecritter.:D
