    Not sure who left this on the dock, tracks around it were not legible after yesterday's rain. Probably raccoon but I'm no expert. I would love for it to be coyote, as it's no more than 30yd from a shooting bench. IMG_0555.jpg IMG_0556.jpg

    Raccoon. Ive seen my share.
    And if left there they will poop on and around the existing scat.

    I was on mom's roof last weekend blowing leaves and sticks off. (her house is surrounded by mature trees and is next to an old growth forest 25' away. So lots of limbs, nuts, and leaves)

    I joked to her that I swear she had a homeless dude living on her roof. Because there were piles of poop there that were human sized. Then As I am blowing/sweeping them off the roof they were coming apart in layers. It would literally poop directly on top of the other pile just like we gravitate to that same hole in the porcelan.

    Not an expert but I would guess Canadian goose.
    We do have pretty regular geese visitors. That's not what I thought it looked like. I actually put a coyote decoy at the end of the covered porch to keep the turkey and geese from pooping on the concrete. It worked. They seemed to like to do it where they could see their reflection in windows and door.

    In the country, hopefully.

    Ya goose would be thinner gray, with no corn in it.

    Looks like there is only one thing left to do…..yes, the blindfolded taste test.

    Any takers? First 5 volunteers will get free “no bending” Pooper Scoopers; Battery Operated!
