im not saying its not a bear or that what you seeing isnt bear scat, but yotes eat berrys too. i always thought i was seeing tons of small bear scat until a few years ago, it can be a little deciving
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been my experience that bear scat is not a consistent indicator of bear size. I've seen some HUGE piles left by small bears...and I've seen some puny droppings left by tanks.The size of scat depends more so upon what the bear is eating, how much it's eating, and how frequently it defecates - not to mention the sheer size of the bear's @sshole.But like I said...correct me if I'm wrong.RW

It is not a reliable indicator of bear size in itself, but is true often enough that big poop equals big bear.
