While scouting in the far N.E. corner last weekend I came across this baggy, turd included. I'm pretty convinced it's wolf, but correct me if I'm wrong. I did see 2 wolves last fall, about 8-10 miles down the same creek valley.
So I'm just curious if anybody knows of a study going on that this should be turned into? It's numbered like it belongs with others, obviously the person didn't fill out the exact date. I just feel it may be of value to some organization some where. Thoughts?

You're the first person I've ever heard of that found a ziploc bag of chit and literally brought it home. :o
-
I read an article in the Spokesman a few days ago about some fecal research. I'll see if I can find it.

Here you go.

Bigfoot poop.

If it is in fact, wolf crap, this one reason why the WDFW lies about wolves, they don't have chit to go on....

Because they dropped it coming out of the woods.
Unbelievable....such a random find.

hahaha, oh trust me, it wasn't the most ideal thing to bring home. But it was sealed tight and dry as can be. It just seemed like there could be little bit of a story behind it with the number and date on the bag. maybe I'm wierd... ok i am haha.
It was over 2 miles from an open road, either up a overgrown road and through lots of nasty down fall, or just bushwhacking up a STEEP face through the same type of thick nasty downfall. I haven't seen any sign of other humans out here, old or new, in the last 4 months that I've been hiking into this area.

I know some kids that would have tried to smoke it. :chuckle:
-
Squatch for sure. Call the Bigfoot research show they be out :tup:
-
No not Bigfoot waste. Hemp eating hippie waste for sure :tup: Not sure why it's bagged up tho?maybe to re-sell but it fell out of his pocket :dunno:

Funny you mention that, because at first it reminded me of a scene in an old Cheech n Chong movie :chuckle:

Seriously it is an owl pellet. Some yuppie from the city was collecting them and dropped one.

Better to find a bag of poop in the woods then on fire on yer door step!

Honestly, I don't think owl. I just helped my little step sister with her science project. I helped her find some owl droppings around the grandparents barn and then soaked them in water, picked apart and then she had to try to put together a whole mouse skeleton. Yes, gross. But she is 9 and had a blast and learned a lot (of course we used rubber gloves and dust masks, I find bird and crap nasty as can be).
This looks very similar to some scat I saw last fall among sets of wolf tracks in the area we were in, pretty dang close to this.
I think the joking is cool and fun, no I'm not butt hurt, I just figured I could get one honest thought on this. Figure just maybe this will help out in any research being done up in the 113 on wolves and how many are actually up there. I guess that's assuming it is even a wolf, probably just some hippy crappin' in a bag to not leave it in the woods.
-
That is a pretty random find, making me think I should make some up myself, drop them around my hunting area and see where it goes from there. I'm sure I could muster up something resembling squatch dung,.. Jack Links Jerky and all....
-
Did you read the article I linked above? Maybe contact Rich Landers and see if he knows how she was marking those bags. :dunno:
-
There are summer internships where undergrads and grads go out and collect scat for research purposes. I looked in one of the bios freezers last year and there were 100's of ziploc bags full of scat. It would be a pretty cool summer job walking through the woods picking up animal *censored* all summer.
-
Contact Carolyn Shores, Phd worker at UW. She is the one heading up this research project, and will know where the bag should end up for best use.

Just kids? I'm thinking there's a few so called adults who also might try to light 'em up.

no one noticed that is 1 out of at least 4104?
