Default RE: THE TRUTH ABOUT DROPPINGS

not sure if i can believe that completely....i agree that deer can poop both clumps and pellets...but i don't think it has to do with them lying down or standing up...if you think about it logically...the end of the intestene where the poop is put all together once all the nutrients have been taken from it is located in the back part of the deer..this section is completley sourounded by ribs, and the hind quarters..so when a deer lays down..ther is no reall clumping of the intestene to cause this clump effect because all of the presure is on the hind quarters...the hole purpose of having a body cavity is to protect its vitals and for a deer that also includes its intestene..not a doctor just can't see how laying down could cause clumps or not....
