FYI, the best way to know for 100% if its a buck is to grab a handful and squeeze it really tight.. If it mushes out between your fingers then you sure do have yourself a handful of shit. meaning yup you found some. lol
So I'm guessing your guys poop stays the same everyday of the year and someone could look at it and know that it's you?
Exactly. I used to believe the clumps or "grenades" as I call them were bucks. Someone mentioned what you referenced to my one time Lundy. I chuckled out of naivety, because it made way too much sense. I no longer believe piles of pellets are doe and clumps are buck. Thus the reason I was curious as to input regarding the size. Either way, I would just about have to believe it is a seriously large bodied deer.
I read once that, just like us, the type of droppings had to do with diet. One type meant woody browse, another was high green vegetation, fruits, etc...
Can remember what clumpy was, but I'm sure it's online somewhere.

I've been naive then. I totally thought big clumps were bucks. I found one that was literally the same size as a water bottle. I thought, wow that has to be a buck....
If I had to guess I would say acorns and corn. That is the main food source in this area. All beans have been picked for awhile now. Acorns are sitting on the ground untouched, so I would say corn equates clumpy. lol
Thanks Cotty. Interesting article given my find. Sounds like buck or doe cannot be determined by shape has been verified. Sounds like size of turd doesn't dictate sex either. Only thing which could be determined, based on the article, is pellet count can sometimes point towards a buck. I didn't count them, but have zero doubt the pellet count was high. lmao
Them School Teachers really know their shit! rotflmao Thanks Mike, seriously, a very interesting article!
Yeah, but I don't know Jack Schitt.
You're welcome guys. That's not the article I read before, but basically the same info. The one I read was about 15 years ago.

Right or wrong I still believe big grenade turds come from bucks. I know diet is a huge part of it like what Joe just posted but I'm thinking the digestive systems are a contributing factor as well. Normally when I have found big grenade turds there have been bigger heavy tracks, this is what I'm hanging my hat on.
Maybe she had some fun on the side but wanted to save that for her rutted romancer? Lol. Come on hunny....its just the tip.
I know it's humorous, but I scout with that mindset. My dog is 100 pounds and his dumps are impressive. A 60 pound dog can't shit like that. I drop massive dumps with regularity and I'm essentially a 4.5 year old 140-145" whitetail. lmao
So in my simple mind, a big pile of shit is worth noting when scouting!
I'm with Ric on this one as well.... I was always told big solid clumps meant buck sign.... Until I see a doe drop a deuce like then I'm sticking with that train of thought....
I concur. Most definitely worth noting. Big turd equals big deer no matter what the gender. This big? Well, I haven't seen any 250lb does lately. . . If ever.
