What would you say this scat belongs to? Sheer volume suggests “bear”, but the size seems much too small? Way too big for deer...?

Haven’t seen elk in that area in the 3 years I am paying attention in this area, but... I can’t be sure. The tracks I have seen don’t suggest elk, only deer and bear, but I am no expert by any means (clearly)

There is moose and elk there. Very few elk but ok pockets of moose. Seen moose in lots of pockets in 3-16. Only elk I have seen was in Texas creek

First mistake of identifying random poops. You gotta pick it up and hold it for scale......trust me.
Found some that I thought was the samsquanch recently, it was huge, just the biggest wolf turds I ever seen all along one road, which I will be spending some time on this year.

Hmmmmm agree 100 % not bear.
Probably elk....
Possibly moose..hard to tell from thumbnail photo..
Health, size, food sources/combination..freezing. .lots of variables..individuals deposits may vary from textbook photos..
You CAN eliminate bears,

your supposed tp taste it just a nibble.

Was the first thing I tried. Well maybe the second... I had a cold coming, taste buds were off. Everything tasted like gummy bears.
