I love these old Lt Grey threads. I also really like the style for thread like posts where a question brings more input to the table than an observation does.

For a short time a few years ago i was living in an apartment complex while i was waiting to close on a house. we had two dogs while we were there and had to walk them constantly and pick up poo. Not my ideal funtime with my dog but oh well. My male lab was very odd at this. He was always a farm dog and had never had a fence before or limits so this was hard for him to adapt to. His Poo runs though grew very interesting to me and they never changed everyday he would go. He had a path and spots he had to smell along the way. Always smelling the same spots everyday. Finally always going near the mailboxes in almost the same spot everyday. He was a territorial un fixed male. My other dog a young at the time female sheltie would go kind of wherever she needed. still smelling along the way but always in a different spot. One day all of a sudden my lab changed his pattern. He started backing into a big bush and going right in the bush. As high as he could get it. That continued on until we left the apartment after two months.

what was the difference why the change? The only thing i could think of is a new couple moved in on the other side of the complex and had a big male Shepherd. Right around the time Chester started changing his habits. Since then i have always wondered way more poo and its part of the culture than just waste. I have never really been able to put it all together yet but i think acknowledging that it is something more than just waste is a good start for me.

There is some great informaiton in this thread and thanks for reviving it.

So, how about coyote dropping left when they refuse a set? Nervousness? I've had them do it when they refuse to go through a blind set too. Love snow, its a great teacher and a great way to learn humility.

I started dumping butcher scraps a few days ago.
I've picked up 10 piles of droppings from coyotes in the last few days.
Coyotes were clearly marking the area !

I think they just go when nature calls.

I find em in to many odd places, and only rarely with several piles in one spot. When I do, It's river coons, and not forest coon.

Not sure though!

Around here the coon definitely don't just go wherever, as a rule. There's specific landmarks that you can almost bet will have coon droppings. Certain big trees that stand out, whether or not they are dens. Big logs that stand out. They love to poop on those. In the swamps you will find the coon poo on hummocks that are higher, and old beaver and rat huts.
If you find a big toilet you should set it, but sometimes they will move on to another food source.
Fox and coyote also go in somewhat predictable spots. Look for those little stand out features and bare spots. It's almost like they don't want to have anything scratch their behind as they go.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I agree with PAskinner

Raccoon definitely have areas that they mark with feces.

We called them 'toilet stations' , same with otters

Can honestly say I’ve only found one “toilet” and it wasn’t even in this country. Came across a bobcat toilet in Mexico, didn’t even know they did that. There had to have been 30-40 piles of scat in about a 3ft diameter circle. The guide thought I was nuts examining it, lol. Other than that I’ve only ever found maybe one or two piles somewhat close to one another, and that’s any type of scat.

I have seen some piles left by brown bears.
I learned that a brown bear can really show off by diameter and pile size.
I also learned that in areas frequented by brown bears and their concentrated droppings that I should move up or downstream to fish.

I'm trying to learn about Otter sign. Found a huge rock on the river recently that has scat piles all over, must have been 25 piles. I thought it was coon at first, but I'm still not sure about that one. It's all crayfish parts. When I found otter scat before it would be just one pile. What do the otter trappers think?
It wasn't a place where I could find tracks.

If there is vomit there also, it is otter. Otter make toilets and will use them whenever they pass through, they will crap and vomit there. Great place to trap them if it is on a log or peninsula of land, might be tough to bed a trap on a rock.

Never saw this before. West side of Little Rock north side of a commercial business. Creek near by. Looks like a cigarette fibers. Feces is the thickness of a finger and 4-5” long.

Canine droppings on a road could indicate that a trail crosses the road. The trail might not be very obvious.
