Ok, so wife and I were fishing this am on a local lake, central texas, and while following a large rock face on the isolated shoreline we heard a weird grunt/cloak coming from a large Crack in the rock face.

. Sounded almost like pig grunts or a sick bullfrog. Shined a light up in it but couldn't see to the end of it. Sounded like more than one critter tho. Found some scat leading into it, circled in blue, Thinking it might be porcupines?

What say you learned chaps? Ideas?

Sorta looks like porcupine crap. And porkies make all sorts of different noises from chattering when they're mad or stressed to grunting.
