Thread: Deer / goat / sheep shit for dummies ;)

So guys, being new to NZ bush, can anyone post pics to show the difference between deer / goat / sheep shit (seeing as all of them are running around out there) ..

I've read the NZ Outdoor Hunting "how-to" series, and also busy reading the Lentle & Saxton "Red Deer" book, but would like to be sure that what I think is deer doodoo is actually DEER doodoo

Visual tips only pls, no taste-tests

ebf, I could post you some if you want.

If at first you don't succeed, you obviously didn't understand the complexity of the problem...

And of course there is this good oldie in case you come upon bear poo in the Taruruas -

Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any persons that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.

We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-f-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him is case of an encounter with a bear.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear shit has bells in it and smells like pepper.
