And all this time I've been looking for antlers to see if there's bulls and I should be looking up piles of turds. How would you tell the bull is a big bull would it be by the size of the pile or the size of the turd in the pile. Good luck with your argument.

I have a friend that swears bull elk poop comes out in the rope-like clumps, while cow elk poop is always individual pellets. Started to try to convince him that it might have more to do with what they eat, but I gave up.

I'm pretty sure we won't have moose in 72 years Bone.
If we do there will be 2 left and that's when I will draw the tag.
Good thing about it is I can go find the crap and determine if it is bullcrap or cowcrap.

Don't feel stupid that is yet another secret in the moose game. Taste is how you tell how old a moose is, its basically it's a form of carbon dating.

A couple of you are close but, I'm really disappointed so many hunters know so little about accurately determining the sex of a moose via it's droppings.

I'll let you in on the secret so you don't keep embarrassing yourselves around campfires and coffee tables.

If it tastes like chocolate it's a bull.  If it tastes like caramel, it's a cow. 

I thought everybody knew that? :dunno:

Post by: 6haase6 on June 07, 2013, 03:45:15 PM
And all these years I have been looking for a dimple in the droppings.

Here I will explain why your theory was wrong. The turds roll off the bulls sack it does bounce off. This creates the perfect round shape and not the dimple. For the difference between cow and bull, the bull turds stay in contact with the bulls body longer than a cows.  :tup:

I didn't actually get to see it but I heard there was one that was running the streets at night. Has been for a couple weeks I guess!?!?!? I saw calf just about ten miles north of town out by the lakes about a month ago, possible the same moose.

Seems like they always move down this time of the year, not sure why.  It was either last year or 11' that they had one stuck in the Esquatzel Canal north of Pasco.  I hope they take hold wherever they can, away from the damn wolves.

Growing up in New Hampshire, I once had some flat landers (also referred to as mass-holes, and very similar to coasties here in wa) ask me where they could find moose poop.  They were talking about doing similar things with it.  At first I thought they were joking...

the pics I seen on here shows me moose poop thats round and oval,this leads me to the conclusion that said moose was laying down..How do I know this you ask???Well,after years of studies,we found we could tell how tall the moose was buy their droppings,,The average moose's butt is 5.8inches off the ground.Now we found that when each pellet drops it leaves a flat spot on one end of the dropping...Thus the taller the moose,the larger the flat spot...We found that the really tall trophy class moose actually had flat pellets,like oatmeal cookies...Those moose are anywhere from 6.1 feet to 6.6 feet at the anal.We did lose a few of our bioligists in this study,not so much from measuring the diameter of the flat spot,but trying to get a precise measurement of the ground to anus height...The dimpled moose droppings were simple,they actually landed on top of a moose turd that was on end thus creating a dimple...Its been a few years since the study,and some high end {parden the pun}equiptment has come out,making this study safer..We now have what looks like a typical range finder,Butt in reality it measures height,and is good out to 25yrds,thus keep our bioligists out of hoof range...That's what we have arrived at with this study,hope you found it of good use..Now we are working on how to tell a benchleg buck dropping from a true westside blacktail buck dropping,,,,
