reminds me of one Turkey season, I was in an area that had a lot of (what looked to me as Elk droppings, until there were some larger than golf balls !!
found out later, the "elk" droppings were calf moose, and the larger ones were mom.

If it looks like the biggest elk droppings you have ever seen, then it's probably moose.

I've actually ate a moose poo with a bet this girl would partake :drool:. Yes it was obvious I was the butt of the joke and unfortunately I didn't impress her. It shouldn't be hard to identify. If you have doubts it's probably elk....and no, I haven't eatin' any since.
