The wife and I like to play a little game with the kids when we go for a ride in the mountains. The kids didn't go with us today, so I took pictures and thought I'd share our game with you, to see how you do.
We call it:

Sure, Steve, but how old* and what sex???

Tim,when i know i'm about to run short on gland lure,i will mix equal amounts of good gland lure and fresh coyote turd(one without seeds)it gives me twice the amount and works very well for me.I do the same with bobcat gland lure and fresh bobcat turds.
The coyotes feed on different seeds and fruits in Arizona...There is only one other animals turds i can think of that would come close to matching those and there to small for it(Bear)so i go along with ,Steves answere.

All I want to know is where is this place, I'd like to go there. Enough money laying around that a guy might get rich if he puts a little effort into it!! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Although I did notice, that the one critter doesn't seem to like eating quarters, or at least it hadn't with-in the last 24 hours. But if a guy can shoot one of the other critters, it might be worth cutting open the stomach to collect the rest of the money!

#'s 2,3 & 11 are not canine, and I don't think #4 is either.
Poop doesn't last long down here, come back in a few days and birds will have eaten every bit of it.

Not wanting to show my ignorance, I have not opined, but #2 & 3 sure look more like bear than coyote, to me? What are the chances on finding quarters next to all that poop?
Good hunting. LB

I'm not much of a "turdologist". 1, 5 through 13 look canine to me. 2-3 could be bear like Leonard said. 4-5 could be bobcat I guess but I'd say canine. Dunno. I need some footprints too. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Maybe this is why I find bears when tracking coyotes. lol!

I'm not either, but I have seen a lot of coyote scat with vegetable matter in it, primarily grapes or melons or mesquite beans.
The thing is, coyote poop seems to hold it's shape better than the above photos, and has a lot of slimy stuff in it.
Also, if birds are picking it apart, or vehicles running over it, or rained on when soft, etc.; that makes it real hard to figure out. #1 is a classic, for sure!
Good hunting. LB

Some of those [formed stools, with pointy ends] look to be coyote. I'd have to guess the others to be in the following order;
1. Coon
2. [Lost] banker, with a hole in his front right
pocket.

Understanding the coyote is not as important as knowing where they are.
I usually let the fur prime up before I leave 'em lay.

Todd, that just reminded me of another thread, a while back.
I know it was Curt, up in Washington checking some scat, picking it apart or something? Then he noticed the toilet paper which had dispersed a few feet away. Ugh!
So, Tim. Do you think #4 or #5 could be illegals? Any toilet paper stuck to a nearby branch?
Good hunting. LB

Either Todd is right or Steve Craig.
I'll have to go with Steve. All coyote.
I'll see if I can pull up some photos of pink plop around watermelon fields, orange plop around cantaloupe fields, green plop from mesquite beans and black squirts near deadpiles. I have a booklet from Arizona Sonora Desert Museum that describes predator scat. The coyote scat is described as
"long cord with "Dairy Queen" twirl-tail..
3/4 inch in diameter..
omnivorous diet; hair, seeds.."
They missed it on all counts.

No, but an old man and his wife who were stopped under a shade tree for lunch, watched me take a couple of them.
They gave me the weirdest looks as we drove by....
Nearly all of those pictures were taken with in a couple of miles of a mountains pass. My maps show it at about 7,000 feet. Vegetation was thick and the ground nearly vertical and rocky. Aren't all of the coyotes supposed to be down here in the flat, sandy lands of the valley at about 4,000'?

Not this time of year!
But wait a couple weeks and there will be coyotes coming to a sandy flat near you real soon.

I am still trying to figure out how Todd knows what Jay's scat looks like. Come to think of it I really don't wont to know.
