Taken by my brother in law out hunting this morning. Looks pretty fresh to me....

Hard to tell by the pic. It looks like its a day or so old, best way to tell is how hard it is.

Via text he mentioned very soft....appeared to be close to a bed..........

As hot as it's been the last few days, I'd say within 12 hours...much more than that and it would be hard and discolored

It's black--that means whatever ate it ingested a lot of blood, too.

Really? I'm thinking straight up berry poo?

Might be...I can't tell from the picture if there are seeds in the poo. Or hair, if it's feeding on a kill. I'm no expert. I just like to examine the scat to see what the critter was feeding on.

If its been blazing hot out in that area...and its still soft/moist its within a day or much less. Just give it a smoosh with your boots....depending on the weather, color, texture, if it crumbles apart or is jam like, etc...should give you a good idea.

Older poo will discolor (from outside to inside...as it dries from the outside in), get hard (dry), etc....its hard to really tell from a pic...texture (and taste) mean everything.

The best to tell how fresh it is is to taste it.

If you can taste and identify what it was when eaten then it's really fresh. Let me know what you find out.

Was it chewy?

windygorge · « **Reply #17 on:** August 18, 2012, 04:19:20 AM »

stick you finger in it. if its still warm then its less than a day old. if you can stick your finger in it with ease, but its cold, then its a day old. if you have to force your finger in it, then its more than a day old. if you force your finger in but the fibers break apart, it is 2-4days old. if you force your finger in and it starts to crumble its a week old. if you stick your finger in it any more than that, you must be enjoying it and your a sick puppy...

Take a poo next to it. Start your timer. Sit and watch it til it gets to the same condition, then look at your timer. That'll tell ya how old....

grizzlyadams · « **Reply #21 on:** August 20, 2012, 11:43:43 AM »

No need to go through all that H2O

, your just checking for moisture content....

NW-GSP · « **Reply #22 on:** August 20, 2012, 12:21:44 PM »

I usually take a stick and check to see if its still soft and how much moisture it still has, I would say if its still moist that its less then a day old all depending if it has been in direct sunlight, I always wait a day or two to pick up after my dog cause its easier to pick up when its dried up

Ha ha, I wear gloves when I hunt and just check it with my hand. A couple days ago I picked some raspberries and ate them...tasted a bit off. Went for a second taste and realized I was tasting the bear poo I'd touched with my gloves a few days before!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I now take my glove off before eating any berries.
