Was looking at a property today and found this scat. Any E36 M3 experts here?

In FL, I think that comes from a human who's been eating silver paint. 

They're probably still nearby, and also probably naked.

It's old. Without a size reference, I'm going with coyote judging by what looks like fur in it. If it's smaller than dog, I'd say bobcat.

Either a canid or felid. I'd assume bobcat or coyote, but it could even be a domestic dog.

Yeah the chalky appearance is due to the age of the poop, that's all I know...

In reply to GameboyRMH :

Yes. All the brown biologicals are washed away. The white left is calcium from bone and the stringiness suggests fur. Those two = carnivore. Down here that's usually coyote or bobcat and from there you go by size. Could also be a domesticated dog but domesticated cats don't usually eat bone.

Sorry busy day.  About 50 yards from there something big went through the overgrowth at the creek.  I didn't see what that was but I assume not deer as they are usually silent as hell.  A neighbor walking by suggested the noise might have been a boar.  I think I might carry next time I walk the property.

I doubt that was pigE36 M3. Could be in theory, depending on their diet (and they'll eat anything), but I'm still thinking coyote or bobcat.

How wide is the passage through the overgrowth?

Definitely not pig. Pig looks more like pebbles. 

Look for pig rooting under trees. This time of year they are looking for acorns.

In the areas I could get to I didn't see much of that.  Mostly pine but some smaller oaks.

In reply to Captdownshift (Forum Supporter) :

Too narrow for my fat behind.  It's an 8 acre lot.  I found an old drive actually right where I'd want one and another on the front side of the lot.  I really wanted to check out the creek for it's length but was only able to see about 100 feet out of 600ish.  The over growth was so thick that I could only walk about 25% of the lot.  Which is fine as I'd want to leave most of it as is.  Maybe set up a boar feeder for some good BBQ cooking.

Oh I think I miss understood you miss understanding me.  By something big going through it I meant I heard it and saw the tops of the overgrowth moving.

Unfortunately it seems that the scat was on wetlands so I can't go back to examine it better.

Use the photo and process of elimination.  Wonder if the critter was albino.

Found more on the property today. Canine?

Also learned that Lil Stampie doesn't enjoy discussions about animal E36 M3. I think he's too cityfied.

That looks more cat sized to me. I'd go with bobcat.  They may look cute and cuddly but don't be tempted. They are meaner than a snake. 

Man 'lucky' to survive rare bobcat attack

Do you just walk around your property looking for E36 M3?

Or are you just trying to show us what you did because you're proud of it?

There's an important PSA if it's white dog poop.  

I guess while we're at it.

LOL ... it's a property that I'm looking to buy.  I love the nature side of it.  Since all three scats are in a certain area I think I'll put a trail cam up if I buy it.
