Can you please identify this scat?

[Backpacker]

While backpacking in the HNF Charles C. Deam Wilderness 22JUN21, I saw this scat on the trail. I should have laid down a dollar bill for reference. I would estimate the length to be 5/8" to 3/4" long. There were more droppings here but these were the tightest group? Is this deer scat?

With that description and size if you were out west I would say elk but there aren’t any elk down there......

Look like seeds of some sort, not ****. Break one open.

I am long gone from there now.

That looks like it came from a R.O.U.S... I'm glad you didn't meet it face to face!!

Looks like Kentucky coffeetree or honey locust seeds, or possibly even persimmon.

+1 on honey locust seeds, likely after passage thru deer.

Well done Sir, well done.

That is obviously from a juvenile Bigfoot. You can tell by the texture it looks like he may have ate chocolate or turkey beforehand.

I just LOVE that section of the HNF, I killed my first ever deer when I parked by the fire tower and hiked back to behind the cemetery.
