Ok all youse experts. Elk or very large deer? Looked largish for deer to my inexperienced eye. Somewhere in an MU8 in the wilderness far, far away.

sorry cant see it...can you upload it to hbc gallery?

[Bugle M In]

Sometimes with photos you need to "add perspective", like a lighter or bullet (mention caliber in it).
A photo just like this is hard to say.
Could it be elk, yes.

Most likely big buck.

I'm goin Deer...

[Dannybuoy]

At first glance , I would say deer , the tracks would positively identify .... kinda silly to ask unless you are just fishing to see who answers .

Who left there chocolates in the rain?

Elk. Green and greasy

A taste test will unveil the true identity!

My guess is mature mule deer. #changemymind

Well perspective, yes, that would be good. But I don't generally carry a ruler when I'm out for early bow season. Not fishing for anything but some advice from experienced tracker dudes & dudettes. I've seen plenty of Mule Deer droppings in my yard in Vernon, none of them come close to the size of the nuggets I present here. Not much to be seen in the way of tracks near the scene, there were some larger hoofprints along the hike. I have tags for both species of deer, moose & elk in my pocket.

Funny the responses a simple request elicits. Have fun folks!

[CranePete]

I’m sorry, just couldn’t resist. As said above, something of a known size for perspective would be helpful. My guess would be mule deer. Enjoy the weekend.

I'm with rock on this one

[PressurePoint]

Did u taste test it?

[Redthies]

I usually have one of my feet in the pics for scale. I’d guess big mulie, but I’m no turdologist.

[longwalk]

I would say white tail buck.

[mike31154]

Thanks all for the input. Keep hoping it might be Elk but as suggested by several, might be a large buck deer. Location is up in the Monashees in an MU-8 that borders on an MU-4.

looks like WT buck on a lush food source (alphalpha near by?)
or maybe a muley
or maybe a small swamp donkey eating lake weeds
or a small elk
or i dont know chit....heheheh
