RE: Droppings on stumps
Nope, I'm not putting them there. And they are too large for rabbits. In fact, I have few rabbits in the timber, a few cottontails but not enough to make this many droppings. I'm seeing this only near or on foodplots. Stumps away from the plots don't show this practice. Just put horse manure on another plot, 2 stumps there the same way. (I'll see if my post # changes with this.) From the size, I would say they are older does. My Pea plot (no stumps) shows a lot of small droppings. I believe this is where the fawns/yearlings are feeding.
