Seen a couple more piles similar in diet. Also within a more recent pooping as well. It looked like it was grass but isn't that a more early diet thig ?

that's nasty
I wouldn't eat that bear anyways, not that I'm convinced it's even a bear.

Not even a seed in that poo? Were there berries around, other food sources? Just curious how you know for sure it is bear. Looks like a cat maybe? Especially if you were as close to the corner as you say. You would think you guys would have heard it.

I've had cats crap right in my tracks - they'll follow you down a trail and crap right where you been.
Kinda funny as they don't always even try to bury it, nope they lay a big ol stinky deuce right in your footprint.
Not sure the signal they're sending by doing that, maybe a territory thing?

There was plenty of other bear poo around some with berries others with this grassy stuff
Also some of the poo was old like weeks old
I was way out in the woods nobody around. Is that a bobcat thing as well?
I do agree it seems odd we couldn't hear the thing.

I have seen some weird bear crap, but I am not sure if this is even bear. There is nothing for size reference, but it is definitely not a full grass pile, more like fir needles than grass.
It looks like whatever it was had been feeding on rotten meat.
