Default RE: Deer droppings

There's a book called"Whitetail Wisdom" and ithas a special chapter called Pelletology. In there it states that if the pellets are individual and not clumped the deer are eating primarily leaves, browse and twigs. If they are clumped together they are eating mainly grasses and forbs. From their studies the size of the pellets on penned deer do not show in any way the difference between a buck or doe. Now if you have bucks 4 1/2 or older in our area they say there are exceptions.. The studies show that some mature bucks do drop more pellets per pile.
