Default Unique question award??

Seriously, how long does it take deer droppings to fully decompose?

I found another area that had droppings nearly every step. But 19 out of every 20 were old to the point of decay that they were merely clumps of decomposition.

fully decompose? I would say look at a leaf or an acorn, and figure how long it takes them to do so. Probably similar I would guess.

IN arrid environments......above 80deg. nominal temps.....19 days, 4 hours and 36 minites to be unrecognizable to the human eye as scat.

Humidity accelerates the process by 4%/5deg of relative reading.

I know some ****.
