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

[Omahkapi'si]

It's not grizzly, theirs smells like pepper spray and has bells in it.

 

[Gopher0]

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

Any kin to the Tasmanian devil , If so get a rabbit and be done with the foul beast !

The age old question has been answered, bears do s#!t in the woods.

That does settle the bear question, but what about the Pope??

Every time I check my cameras I'm giddy with anticipation but he's never there. Just deer, elk, bears and squirrels.

 

[cynthialee]

Going back through some old hunting photos I came across these high bush cranberries and another shot taken out of the living room window of a brownie picking some.

That there is bear barf. Ate too many too fast and he barfed up his meal.

Start writing, and I'll be waiting!
Maybe start a new thread. A couple folks here have alluded to seeing some other-worldly creatures in the woods, but not a lot of detail.
Except one guy in East Texas, where his tales really scared me!
But, sometimes, I wonder if people are putting me on.
But, I still like the stories!

I watched a strange acting guy from my tree stand one time. He looked kinda scetchy, nervous like looking around. All black clothing with his hood pulled up. I'm thinking great, he's hiding stolen loot. Or hiding a murder weapon, who knows. So when I got down, I was graveyard quiet choked up on that Alaskan yellow cedar shaft with a razor sharp Wensel Woodsman broadhead ready to defend myself with it an snuck back to my truck as quiet as an Apache. Came back the next day with Sam Colt and a camera. It was a Geocache. I moved my stand anyway.

That my friend, is anyone's guess.

I guess it depends on the OPs location in KY if he is in Eastern Ky I would agree although there have been a few supposedly sighted in the south central area mostly near Mammoth Cave NP which is about 45 minutes from myself. Around me it would be rare that's why I inquired about the deer poo, as you stated bucks are more constipated than does and a lot of times they will leave a globular pile and not the raisin like droppings of the does. Could it be a large buck in the area?
Thanks for the info.

South Central Ky and there has been at least one bear seen in the nearby area for years now. More recent sightings in the last month.

 

[ETipp]

i'm thinking bear. deer scat (around my place) is a bit more organized.

have you asked the game warden? they are really good at this sort of thing... (at least, mine is ... showed him a photo of scratchings on a tree and he told me all about porcupines)

I've nothing to hide but after I was falsely accused by a game warden one day when I lived in Montana and he treated like a criminal, I try not to talk with those guys unless they insist. Every bit of it was unwarranted and I did nothing wrong, so I held my ground. Its a dang wonder I didn't go to jail that day.

And yes, it was over a bear. The first bear I ever killed as a matter of fact.

 

[ETipp]

Sorry, I'll move over a couple of trees next time.

Oh no, not another one. Between you and IanH a person has to watch their step in the woods. And I'm not referring to snakes.

What county might you be in? Edmonson? Metcalfe? I am in Northern Allen County.

 

[Kentuckyjed]

Last time I saw a Game Warden in the woods he was very nervous around us until he felt no threat from us and was at ease. Some places around here they disappear so I can see why.

 

[ETipp]

Pulaski, against my will.

 

[Kentuckyjed]

Pulaski, against my will.

Beautiful country over there. Close to The Falls as well. Yep, and I could see why bears like it over there for certain.

 

[The Crisco Kid]

That there is bear barf. Ate too many too fast and he barfed up his meal.

Nope. The berries came out the other end. They've been washed out some by the rain.

 

[S.Kenton]

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".View attachment 248207

Depending on the region I’d say it’s coon poop. They eat berries.. and they poop like there’s no tomorrow!

One of Hunter's Paintings?

 

[2 shots]

well folks, i am sorry to say that you are all wrong. at first i thought it was a sqatch but upon further study it is for sure from a chupacabra.

 

[Secesh]

North American Ringtail Moler.


Not to be confused with the Silver Haired Moler…

 

[X62503]

Agreed, looks like bear to me!

Well, IanH and Chorizo both fessed up to being the culprits so now we have a real mystery.
