Title: Name this scat?
Post by: thedude055 on February 05, 2017, 12:21:40 PM: I was out today doing a little scouting and hiking and found this. It's quite a bit smaller than coyote but is loaded with fur. Just curious if it's Bobcat. I am not familiar with them myself being from Ohio.

3rd roll down, 6th picture from left looks real close to what you have and it says that it is weasel scat.

Both mink and weasel kill and eat mice, rats, rabbits, birds and feed off of dead carcasses of other animals.
Looking at the leaf that the scat is on, it doesn't look like it is anything bigger than mink or weasel.

For everybody, if you run across something like this, take a picture of it but put something like a quarter, dollar bill, pocket knife or something to show how big it is. Or measure it or guess what the measure measurements are. Length, diameter, etc..
