Default Deer droppings

I read somewhere that either bucks or does droppings will clump up. Anyone know anything about this? I think it was the buck that clumped and the does was more like rabbit pellets. Just curious.

I have only seen pellets. Could it maybe have something to do with their diet?

I hear the same thing about buck droppings being clumped up because they are less active most of the year. I dont know if theres anything to it or not. The only way Im sure its buck crap, is while Im gutting them.

If it smells like wings and beer, I assume it's a male.

Im not a pro but i am pretty sure that the clumps of pellets come from bucks. I have seen the bucks drop it and i have seen clumps in very heavy buck areas. Just my 2 cents.

I believe it has to do with diet, but I'm no pro either.

True, but who wants to admit that "they don't know crap"??
