Have you ever seen a dog size critter poop peach seeds? It came from a herbivore or an omnivore, not a carnivore.

Could you expand on this thought? Grey Fox would not have entered my mind.

I couldn't say with any certainty, it was just a thought. They're pretty common in the state, although they're pretty secretive. They spend a lot of time hanging out in brushy/overgrown areas, and they spend a lot of their time up in the trees. They do eat their fare share of small mammals and birds, but a lot of their diet is made up of fruit, berries, plant matter, and insects.

I'm not positive that's what it is, especially given the size you're describing. I'm not sure they eat peaches, and I'm not sure they could pass peach stones, but I've been regularly surprised at how many pawpaw and persimmon seeds can be passed by much smaller critters in a sitting. Just some food for thought

send the pics to jeff beringer with mdc and see what he thinks

Are there any signs of the human that was carrying the peaches when the bear attacked him?

[Justin Spencer]

Saw some groundhogs up in our peach trees a couple weeks ago, never would have dreamed they would climb to eat like that.

Hard to comment on the bigfoot story, not smart.

Can you imagine the experience it was for the animal to pass all of these peach stones?

Ahh... let's change the subject.
