Bear.

ARE YOU SURE?  I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY BEARS IN THAT AREA.   BUT ACTUALLY THATS THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND,  BUT I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY BEARS AROUND HERE

Yes I am sure----- Well do a little re-thinking, maybe it was just passing through but that is 99.99999% bear poop

Hard to judge size reference, coyotes will *censored* the same thing and I suppose wolf would too.  Seems small for a bear but never judge abear by his *censored* pile.  It could be a coyote but sure looks like bear from here.

[BIGINNER]

OH WOW,  NEVER WOULD THINK THAT A BEAR WOULD BE AROUND HERE,   JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA WHERE I WAS,  I WAS WITHIN 15 MILES OF PASCO.   BUT I DO BELEIVE YOU THAT THATS BEAR CRAP,  ITS JUST THE LOCATION THAT BAFFLES ME.

[BIGINNER]

YA,  BUT WOULD COYOTES EAT CHERRIES?

I thought maybe coon or coyote...see that all over the place in the forest and it isn't usually bear. looks just like the coon crap in my yard when they were chowing down on the cherries...

[boneaddict]

yes and apples and basically anything they can get down their gullet, just like a bear.

OH,   AND ONE MORE THING,  THE CLOSEST CHERRY ORCHARD IS LIKE4 MILES AWAY FROM THAT SPOT

[boneaddict]

puckerin' like a coon *censored*tin peach pits.    LOL   Little big for coon, but then again that whole reference thing.  Probably not cherry orchard, probably choke cherry.
