I was out collecting a few Lobster and Chantrelle mushrooms while scouting for a spot for black tail this year and came across this very very fresh scat / droppings. They were about two inch diameter (my hand for scale).
I also found what a few logs that had been scratched all to hell. There was a large pile of dust in front of them, from whatever did it but no prints in it. If I stood at the edge of the pile I could just barely reach the backside of the burrow / dig hole and not leave a print. I'm 5'10 and figure the animal was about the same length to reach all the way in there and not step on the pile.
My first thought was a mountain lion, because of the block-like edges of the droppings. Any thoughts?
Oh here was some of the haul too.
