Found this under my stand I just put up. What left this?

[ETipp]

Found this while I was putting up a ladder stand for the up coming muzzleloader season.

At first I thought perhaps a racoon, but it doesn't look like racoon scat. Too much of it.

Possum, too much for a them to leave behind.

Fox, nope.

Coyote, I'm not seeing it.

Pretty sure I know what deposited it but lets hear you all's input.

It appears to be composed of all blackberries.

Length about 4".

Width about 3".

Height about 3/4" to 1".

Oh, that was me, sorry man I didn't notice your stand was in that tree or I would have gone somewhere else.

 

[deerstalkert]

New diet Ian? all blackberries?

 

[Secesh]

Black Bear

I see those deposits around my place from time to time

 

[IanH]

New diet Ian? all blackberries?

Yeah, they were nice and ripe and I just couldn't stop eating them. There are repercussions to overindulgence, though!

 

[ETipp]

Oh, that was me, sorry man I didn't notice your stand was in that tree or I would have gone somewhere else.

Dang you, IanH. I almost stepped in it, too. Mind you, had I done so you would have been on my...................wait for it..................chit list.

However, lucky for me my stand was not there yet. I was getting ready to put it up.

Black Bear

Yep, sure looks like it to me. Ole Yogi has been seen hanging around here lately.

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Likely black bear, they don't chew berries much, just gulp 'em down and if the berries weren't ripe their system doesn't break them down well.

 

[deerstalkert]

Yogi eats copious amounts of huckleberries here. one of the favorite paths , contrary to the bunny huggers, is the road.
after the first snow there will be purple circles 4 feet around all up and down the road.

Bigfoot's been known to have berries on his Capn' Crunch in the morning....

Big Foot. Oh no.

 

[deerstalkert]

That's just great. Now I know I need to carry a backup side arm with me.

Thanks a lot, buddy!

anybody or thing that eats Capn' crunch is most likely mellow.

 

[Sam squanch]

That is the scat of the Whirling Whumpus, it whirls so fast, like a small tornado, no one has ever seen one……

 

[Piquant]

I don't know, that some crazy sh-t for sure.

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Pretty sure they sell those at Starbucks.

 

[Hermit Tim]

Bigfoot's been known to have berries on his Capn' Crunch in the morning....

True. He came into my camp one morning asking if I could spare some milk so I poured some in his bowl. He gave me some berries. Then we ate jerky. Good times...
