Default RE: QUESTION... BUCK DUNG...

not true at all. i was told this, and i just HAD to research it. (it was a rough and humorous travel.) i found that the consistency is based upon what the deer eats. if it is eating grasses and such, it will be more moist and stick together better. if the deer are eating alot of late season stuff ( acorns, bark, cedar branches, buds off branches, etc.) it is more hard packed and less moist, preventing it from sticking together. on farm property (like the one i hunt) the deer eat clover and alfa alfa all year round, resulting in a poop that sticks together. but on the public land i hunt, most poops are broken up b/c of a lack of green crops later in the year
