Probably coyote??

I don't think anyone can predict the size of an animal from the length/girth of a turd.

Looks like the coyote turds I have seen...

Never spent much time studying the size of coyote turdcutters, but I would guess that those droppings came from an adult coyote.

Coyote. I don't think you can really judge size by a piece of doo doo. B-holes stretch ya know.

Been keeping tabs on the bears coming up from Pa to my brother's place in Erie Cty the past few years. One got hit by a car about 2 mi from his place 3 years ago. He had his compost pile torn apart a few years ago but he never saw sign. Two seasons back I pick a tree to hang my stand in and at the base of the tree there was a nice pile with the berry seeds in it just like Lawdwaz pic. Last year I pick a spot for my blind and out in front there's a log that was torn to shreds, guy was digging for bugs and grubs.

Yeah, I figure.  Then again, my little 12 lbs dog can't crap anything close to that size.

Well, you can usually tell the difference between a Chihuahua turd and a Rottweiler turd, but trying to guess if it was a 20 lb yote or a 40 lb yote is probably not likely.

Coyote or fox.
A feather floated to earth. A hawk saw it, a bear smelled it, and a deer heard it hit the ground, but the coyote did all three - first.
