Title: What's the "Poo" telling you?
Post by: KentuckyTJ on October 26, 2013, 09:13:00 PM: The color of the deers poo can tell you what they are feeding on. I am getting mixed signals.

Post by: flinthead on October 27, 2013, 09:45:00 AM: Not having any luck finding any acorns in this part of Virginia. Not even Beech nuts. Worst yard for hard mast I can remember. Some fox grapes on the ground. Deer and Squirrels will have to get food at the Macdonalds drive thru in January this year.

Post by: achigan on October 27, 2013, 10:04:00 AM: Hey TJ. Go back in a couple days, those piles should both look the same. I agree with PSH that the olive green pellets look real fresh. I've done the touch test, feeling a pellet to see if it's still warm.......

Post by: ron w on October 27, 2013, 10:19:00 AM: If the olive green one has the consistency of peanut butter you just missed him or her. The other is just older.

Post by: **DONOTDELETE** on October 27, 2013, 11:24:00 AM: If you do the taste test i think you'll find the darker stuff a bit tougher to chew. the olive green should melt in your mouth.... :laughing: :laughing:

Post by: KentuckyTJ on October 27, 2013, 12:31:00 PM: interesting. I will return to the spot in a few days and see if the green turns black and of course try each for flavor.

Post by: bentpole on October 27, 2013, 12:39:00 PM: Do you have fruit trees in the area? If there's apples or pears around? Usually you'll get the mushy green type POO.

Post by: Duncan on October 27, 2013, 08:18:00 PM: I agree with the pastor. One pile is fresh and one has oxidized and is older. Reminds me of the old raisinette trick. When showing a newbie the ropes its fun to take a pocket full of raisinettes along. Make like you a picking up some droppings and then eat the raisinettes. Always good for a laugh.

Post by: Rob W. on October 27, 2013, 08:26:00 PM: I would expect green browse to be a bit greener than corn or nuts. Kinda like cows on feed or field.

Post by: DanielB89 on October 27, 2013, 09:02:00 PM: I can look at these pics and say confidently that there has either been 1 deer twice or 2 deer that almost pooped in the same spot(at different times).

Post by: Benoli on October 28, 2013, 12:04:00 PM: If it were any fresher it would probably be in the air.

Post by: Pete McMiller on October 28, 2013, 12:08:00 PM: What it's telling me is that the deer are raiding the kids halloween baskets. The first deer ate all the black jelly beans and the second one ate all the watermellon jelly beans. :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Post by: buckster on October 28, 2013, 01:17:00 PM: That would be telling me to hunt right there TJ!!

Post by: Arraflinger on October 28, 2013, 01:43:00 PM: Find the poop line, then put your stand up about 300 yards from the last poopoo !!

Post by: on October 28, 2013, 01:52:00 PM: The best way to tell if it is corn or clover poop, pick up a handful and throw it at your hunting buddy. If it sticks it is alfalfa, if it bounces off it is corn.
