anyone know what animal left this? It is in Bartow County.

Offhand and with no scale to judge the size of the individual pellets, I'd say a deer, likely a Buck unless you found it in a pasture and it is larger than it appears, then I would say bovine male.

Mushrooms!! Eat a small piece and you'll feel great for hours!!

I should have put something in the photo for scale, but it is way bigger than what I have seen from deer. Could it be hog?

Swampagator · Nov 13, 2009

Could be from a hog but looking at the pic it would seem that was in a open feild or on a edge of one and a hog will be close to the water near a swampy area, but I am no expert for sure.

danmc · Nov 13, 2009

it was in an open food plot, but it is close (few hundred yards) to a swampy area. There are a couple of black walnut trees in the food plot. The swampy area nearby had a bunch of large rooted up area that were clearly the work of hogs but no scat so those may have been older.

That my friend is Bear Scat. Hogs will take a dump while walking, but a bear will hump up like a dog and dump it in a pile.

Interesting. While I have never seen bear tracks or an actual bear there, I did find a tree several miles away that had maybe been torn up by something big eating grubs.

I'm glad I finally got around to asking!

Especially with hog sign close by I would say it looks like hog scat. Most of the bear scat I have seen is usually more in a pile and fairly runny depending on their diet... much like a cow dropping except with seeds/berries/acorns.

Bartow has quite a few hogs. Hog tracks look similar to deer except more like the golden arches.

They are probably feeding at night in the field. I have seen many food plots in the mtn WMAs that have hogs just covered in hog scat. They really like the clover fields.

In over 25 years chasing hogs ,definitely pig !

danmc · Nov 15, 2009

Pig is what I was hoping for the day I took that picture. I took that in February of '08 (or was it 07) at Pine Log WMA.

I agree fully with Polaris that this is bear poop. His reasoning is sound.
