That's really cool thanks for sharing, I had no idea coyotes crap looked different then a dogs. Definite diet difference so makes sense I suppose.

Which reminds me of a funny little story...

Went camping with a group years ago. One guy comes walking out of the woods saying, "I don't know what these little round brown things are, but I've been pikcing them up, and munching on them, and they are not half bad!"

He made some more references to the deer droppings, then pulled some out of his pocket, showed them to some of the kids and girls, and popped them into his mouth and chewed em up!

This guy had a pocket full of Milk Duds, and had half the camp wanting to heave their guts :barf: ...and the other half laughing hysterically.

He got them good.

That is my Scat story, and I'm stickin to it.

I got a crappy pic .
Any ideas ? Found early may in the Adirondacks.
I was thinking coyote , the long skinny part on the right
seemed like a bone when poked with a stick , the hair
looked like it could be a rabbit or deer to me.
Fishers and bobcats are also in the area .
???? What is it ???

Typical looking scat from a feral hog on a diet
consisting largely of grasses, forbs and insects.

dried don't you have anything fresh?

kidding a side this is a great post.
i also have books on the subject in my collection.
i was kidding with my children about the animals dropping coins everywhere they go because in the pictures in my book they would put coins beside the skat for size.
