Moonface Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Anyone found what they believe to be this? What are the telltale signs? Also, do BFs have any sort of toileting etiquette (e.g. having a designated area for doing their business)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjeti Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 What I've heard is you can tell the difference between bear scat and sasquatch scat by the smell. Bear scat will smell fruity or grainy while sasquatch scat stinks like ours does. On the etiquette question, I read one account where a person said after the squatch took a dump it wiped with its fingers and licked its fingers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWexplorer Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 The only poo I've ran across in the woods that was big enough to be BF poo was the largest pile of bear poo I've ever seen in my life. Deposited right next to a giant blackberry patch about a mile from my cabin. It was probably about half a gallon worth of excrement and obviously full of berries. Had to have been a 400+ lb black bear, which is very big for around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNWexplorer Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 This is bear poo. Now officially the biggest pile I've seen at around a foot across. Most definitely Grizzly. Found last week on Marble Mountain, Idaho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiflier Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) At least now I know what a pant-load might look like if i saw a BF in the wrong place at the wrong time. Edited September 12, 2020 by hiflier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17x7 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I have seen a few piles of poo that I'm pretty sure must have been BF. It would be right in the middle of the road or trail. Like it was done as a marker or be seen. What I saw looked just yours or mine might, except for two things. It contained a lot of plant matter and berries, and it was HUGE. Like about the diameter of a Coke can and nearly 24 inches long. I used to have some pictures, but it was before the digital days and I'm sure they are no more. 17x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
