Poop experts - what is this?

[Evans, Marv]

If it didn't come from your back yard and in a urban area (I'm assuming), I'd say it looks like bear scat.

[JavaBrewer]

Sorry man, didn't know it was your yard.

The only way to tell for sure is by taste. Report back.

No, no, no! You have to smoke it... but in a Meerschaum pipe!

I say it's all a load of BS.

Skunks will tear a place up looking for grubs. If your garden looks like a small tiller went through it, then maybe skunk.

Whatever became the poop had some fur. Not sure what you have for feline stuff around you, but the fur bits and stench seem to suggest a carnivore souvenir. If the area is fenced, I'd double the feline bet.

Looks like coon droppings..

Bear.

[Tobra]

If it was skunk, you would not have to ask, you would know they had been around already. Raccoon, plenty of them around here.

Raccoon is smallest of the bears, so those guys are right too.

Do you know what this is?

They left another one last night in almost the exact same spot

To be sure, borrow a game cam.

Most definitely raccoon crap. We have quite a few living in a big cypress tree in our yard. They leave their deposits under the tree and in our vegetable garden. The little bastards have also been crapping on our roof.

50 lbs of that won't fit in a 40 lb bag.
