LOL....funny.....really funny...

DT...they say buck **** tastes more like wheat bread than doe ****. Any truth to that one?

RE: deer identification
 

There was a post on here a while back where we found out we have a poop expert among us. I dont remember who it was but this guy had a whole article on it. There was a difference

I don't believe you can tell the difference between a buck's poop or doe's poop. Maybe the different variations of poop is determined by their diet? I've also heard that when it is clumped they have been bedded down awhile.

Yeah bucks are shaped like a J and does are small swirls[8D][:-]

I have heard it has to do with the diet, like tacos and chili vs. ham and cheese in a human, but I have no clue as every deerI have gutted had pellets in the canal.

Dont think im stupid or anything because me and a few classmates were talking about it and i never knew what to believe...

only kidding wisbow, I was mainly referring to the phantom pooper theory, and the guy who knew all about deer poop awhile back.

RE: deer identification
 

I had asked this before with numerous responses. I remember it was "deer doodie". But anyway alot of people say that clumps are the first crap after they have been bedding awhile. I'd like to know the truth about it.

RE: deer identification
 

I always thought clumped up just meant they were bedded.

I would like to know the truth too. Maybe we should talk to a deer farmer. Or we could always rangle a doe and a buck and then put poop bags on them...... but how would we collect them afterwards. I guess we could always wait for the deer with a diaper on.[8D]

Calling BULL **** on this one.

There actually is a way to tell, you see the deer that is depositing it! ! ! ! !

I read an article DR James Kroll wrote about deer droppings a while back. He stated in it that there is no way of telling whether the droppings came from a doe or buck. He stated that diet played a big role in the consistency of the poop and whether they were beded or up moving around. I doubt that any of us has put much time in to studing deer crap, so i reckon i will just have to take him at his word. lol

RE: deer identification
 

I think all deer crap is the same just depends on how long the deer has been laying or standing in one spot. Just like human crap, its all the same!

RE: deer identification
 

only thing you can tell about that is from turkeys.....J-shaped droppings are hens and straight ones are males......good way to remember that (according to my college professor) was a guy gets an erection and its straight...............stupid I know, but I never forgot. Had something to do with the internal organs.

Buck or doe, I don’t care. But it sure does hit the spot to grab a handful for a mid-afternoon snack. Just like eating popcorn.

Hmmm...I guess that's one way of thinking of it. What kinda class was that?
