Post by: pianoman9701 on September 01, 2020, 12:05:54 PM: I found one tucked way in a thicket that looked like horse hockey, a pile about 1' in diameter and 4" thick. He had to have been big.

Post by: greenhead_killer on September 01, 2020, 12:27:48 PM: I should have taken a pic, but just last week I came across a pile of bear scat that was red bull sized round. Not being a very knowledgeable bear guy, I’ve been told that the size of the pile doesn’t necessarily matter as much as the diameter of the logs are, in determining size of bear putting it down.

Ouch! I can relate, it's kinda like day 3 or 4 after a sole diet of freeze dried chow. :4w:

Post by: NRA4LIFE on September 01, 2020, 01:12:58 PM: Is that what is called "Barry Trotz". Sorry, some NHL playoff humor.

Some bear poop is staggering. I had one taking a dump in my yard this summer that had been eating plums. I was curious. I broke one up and found 217 pits. They were small, but still, for even small plums, that's a lot of plums.

Post by: elkboy on September 01, 2020, 10:04:47 PM: I once was bow hunting elk in SW WA in an area of mixed wetlands and Douglas-fir forest. There were a lot of the native crabapple trees, and apparently a very large black bear had been gorging on the tiny apples. It had left several piles of scat that were 2-3 gallons in volume. It staggered me that that was possible. The crabapples were still recognizable, but the bear must have derived some nutrition from them.

Big boy there!.. about 15 yrs ago while up Matheny Ridge I came across a pile of bear scat that was so big you couldnt fit it all in a large costco coffee can.

Post by: Goshawk on September 17, 2020, 09:29:05 PM: Once while I was trying to sneak up on a bear feeding on huckleberries. I lost track of the bear, and did a slow circle to my left not really knowing where it went. About that time, I all but stepped on a blue grouse. No pictures, but that was one big pile I left!

Post by: Axle on September 18, 2020, 06:57:57 AM: I was hunting moose in AK. Came across a spot where a griz ate a moose. The bear obviously stayed there till it was done with the moose. The bear scat covered a lot of ground and I reckoned it would be enough to filled at least 2 55 gallon barrels. That was long before I had a digital camera. No pictures but it sure was a sight to see.

Post by: savagehunter on September 18, 2020, 11:45:24 AM: When I was much younger and out deer hunting me and three friends came on a steaming pile of apples and black berries that wa 2 ft rnd and 18 inches high. We left the area immediately. I'd like to hope it was sasquatch instead of a monster bear. By the way this was Willamette valley in the foothills so either a black bear of epic proportion or a squat has with no toilet paper

Post by: ThomMedic on September 19, 2020, 08:21:23 PM: We were on JBLM scouting when we came across some interesting sign. Though it was not the biggest bear poop I have seen on the base, this one seemed to come with a story. I'll let you guys figure it out.

We saw several different items, MRE pouches that appeared to be chewed on and/or ripped apart, the usual scat full of seeds, and a substance that appeared to be vomit. Some of the MRE wrappers were small and intermixed with the vomit substance. Some of the tan containers were just ripped and lying on the ground.

After looking at this garbage for awhile we surmised that a bear ate the MREs still in the envelope and ingested the plastic wrapper. Thus the bear got sick vomited the plastic at the same time pooped out a moderate load on the dirt road. Sh*t, now I got to find the photos i took with my phone.

Post by: JimmyHoffa on October 11, 2020, 08:33:38 PM: I saw a few this past week that I didn't think were possible. The only thing that seems reasonable is that the bear returned to the same pile a few times to make a few more deposits.
