actually ive heard the same thing about the piles being froma buck,, but never put much stock in it,, you hear that stuff from the same guys that can tell a buck track from a doe track. anyway im all for what they said about you tasting it to see for sure,, i bet the buck turds will be tougher! The way i see it-- big turd-big deer/little turd-little deer/big track-big deer/little track-little deer,, just my two cents worth.
