Title: Identify the scat
Post by: HuntandFish on September 01, 2015, 08:37:33 PM: Went for a hike with the family around the property tonight and found this.

Nearly all hair, I have seen allot of wolf poop in the woods and this seems small and doesn't quite fit the bill, but I have also seen allot of bear scat and it also does not seem to be in that category. So thinking coyote but thought it would be fun to leave it up for a vote? Obviously it's very old, and sorry for the bad pic.

Time to out up some game cams...Thanks for your thoughts everyone!
