Buck turds lol

If no one is there to hear the buck poop in the woods... did the buck poop in the woods? Lol nice buck and cool video of his scrape
 
Question on turds......i sometimes find nuggets of compressed turd balls.... Deer poo that is in 1 or 2 big poo balls. Is this just any deer that's backed up or is this a buck or doe only trait?

HA! I've had that same question. Either way my stupid dog finds a way to eat it or roll in it.

No idea if it's true but I was always told that only a buck will produce the compacted clumps like you're referring to.

I call BS on that. And the idea that big deer lay big turds. Think about it.

What's the biological difference in the gastrointestinal tract of a male vs female organism? Anybody go around measuring deer anuses?

More importantly, anyone have kids? A 6 year old can clog the heck out of a toilet...

I've often thought it was probably nonsense but have heard it many, many times. Probably just one of those things that got passed down over the years.

I'll try to find the source, but I read that bucks only produce the clump-turds in the fall because their increased testosterone actually gives them a form of deer diarrhea. I'm not 100% on board with that, but I read it an old timey book on tracking I believe.

According to Dr. Leonard Lee Rue, clumped turds mean the deer is grazing instead of browsing. IE, earing soft, succulent vegetation like alfalfa and clover.

I'm sceptical of any and all tracking books. Too much pseudo-science and "lost art" nonsense in them.

A deer track tells you 2 things definitively. That there was a deer there a while ago and that it was going a certain direction. Everything else is a guessing game.

I think you will find several Northeast Deer trackers that would disagree with this statement.

It was explained to me that it was a behavioral difference. I think it has more to do with a Buck’s tendency to remain bedded longer throughout the day. They hold it longer, therefore it is clumped together instead of individual pellets.
 
Crapping at the base of your camera is the deer equivalent to flipping you off and saying how you like me now sucka
