Is this bear poop?!

A good big dog will help with your bear alarm problem too....
Suggest akita, shep or husky.



This dude doesnt like it when a bear poops on moms lawn.

What BT said...

I get black bears in my back 40 every year....i like messin' with them.

 

I am pretty sure it is elk scat. She has elk. I think she posted pictures of elk. Elk do make piles.

 

I dunno mom...looks like black bear to me....
I've been wrong before....couple times....
I've stepped in similar in the dark near the fire pit....

 

I dunno what Elk tastes like....it's on the list but my bros don't hunt in areas where they can get an elk tag...

 

This convo is cracking me up. There were other piles with no clustered pellets. They were more like splats. They reminded me of cow pies. Could be a sick elk perhaps? Now I wish I took more pics, lol! And yes it has been very warm. When I was at the cabin sat it was at least 70 degrees. I was in a tank and too hot with my long jeans and boots on. I will get more poop pics next weekend. Two weeks from now I'll be having my first overnight there so I'd like to get a better idea of what animals are around lmao.

 

The elk bashed a hole in my cabin wall so keeping them away is probably going to be a priority, too lol.

 

I'm out of it then, We have no elk or grizzlies down here, A few Black honey bears, But I just kick them off the trail.

Everything else pretty much takes a dump in the water.

Yes, sloth, a bear bag. It is what back packers do, when they need to keep what they have.

 

No, sloth, I speak from years of backpacking. Now, reread what I said. At no time, did I say raise it like a flag directly over your head, now did I? I did not give a location, at all, other than to hang it between two trees.

 

hehe sorry, can't help it!

 

Really? Were you there when they put a hole in your cabin? That is something I have never heard of. I have elk all around and I have never heard of them bashing a hole in a house. From the looks of your house there doesn't seem to be anything that would entice them. Elk will come up on the low deck to graze on potted vegetables but won't touch the house. @Quigley_Sharps may want to chime in here because he has wilderness experience in the NW.

Here is a shot of an elk. Had I opened the window I could have pet its back. But he never touched the house, there was nothing of interest inside.

 

Yep. The cabin sat unused by the previous owner and for some reason the door was open. An elk went inside and must have felt trapped or something. There were prints all over so the culprit was fairly obvious lol.

 

@Bear could still get in!
