RE: Buck and Doe POOP
TIMBER, remind me not to EVER scout with you.
ELK, No, I didn't notice. I guess I'll have to look more closley next time I get the urge to go beyond simply identifying droppings as coming from a deer.
Seriously though (actually, Timber I was serious about that too), I've read 2 books on Whitetails that say the way the poop looks is dependant on the type of food eaten.
-A loose pile of pellets = eating regular forage plants
-A solid mass of pellets that stay stuck together = legumes like beans
-If there bite marks in it, then TimberCruiser has been there ahead of you.
-If it's been poked apart with a stick, Elkhunter is around somewhere.
-And if it looks really smooshed, wipe your boot off. You've gotten too close.
Keep 'em all in the Bull.
