Poll: Time to play name that scat!

[Jason Brown]

My family has some acreage up in the hills East of town. While walking on the lower end of the property last weekend there were many piles of scat littering an overgrown logging road. After comparing to pics online i feel it looks like bear scat to me but I'm not 100% certain so I would appreciate any input from anyone more knowledgeable than myself.

Thanks

Yes i would say so.

Easy way to find out: Leave picnic basket full of food out there. If it disappears you have your answer.

I thought you wanted us to name your scar. I was going to propose Hillary or Bernie

the only way to know for sure is to get a piece in your hand along with a sample of lab tested/ confirmed bear scat, and compair the smell, texture, consistency, and taste. Just be careful not to step in it.

Taste is the key indicator!

Yes - it probably is. I see that from time to time on the road and on my property less than 100' from the house.

A little ways away from the bear poop, some one left a nice pile of chocolate covered raisins too. Yum. Must have been saving them for later.

Now you know where the bear schits in the buckwheat.

A Patrick MacManus fan by chance??

While I'm no authority on scat (contrary to the opinion of some of my friends and not having a good size reference, I'm thinking it's more likely raccoon. Found something that looked like that out by my barn where I feed the cats. I know raccoons come by and snack at least occasionally and I'm pretty sure a bear couldn't get under the seat of the old tractor where I put the cat dish. Not as exciting as a bear I know but probably more likely.

The terrible thing is that children are probably going to die.
