Thanks guys,

most of those big pellets are actually moose turds. They will feed at the bales as well as the deer. I don't know about the other guys here but i've often found bales that only have moose crap at them even though there are plenty of deer in the area. I think they can be pretty ornery and will chase deer away from "their food" or at least the deer will avoid a bale stack that has a pile of moose around it
