Is this bear scat?

[cleabig]

I live in Wildwood MO, right near Lafayette High School.  My property backs to wooded common ground that connects to significant tracts of wooded land. I think there may be a bear roaming around.  Does this look like bear scat?

No.  But it looks an awful lot like Paul Dallas scat after a heavy session of Busch beer and White Castle burgers.

It is probably what CWF is hinting at. Impossible to tell for sure, but...yeah. Not that it's impossible that there could be a bear around Wildwood, but this is a case where location is probably your best friend in guessing what that might be.

Bear sighted in Ballwin

 

 Bear sighted within 7 miles of my address.

 

If that stuff is digested white castle tidbits then I’m never eating there again.

        Neat,

  Nice to have a few around to someday get a chance to see.

    I do have to say though there is allot of crap we read on this forum but this is the first pile anyone has posted. ,

Who has been feeding canned corn to the bears ?

Apropos to nothing, but I have seen a couple so far this summer. Of course, they are a teensy bit more common over here (in the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky). Still, they'll startle you just a bit when you're walking up to a plot to measure trees at 6:15 AM, short of caffeine, and not thinking of such things.

You hear a loud sound, look to see the deer that you've scared up...and oh, look, there's a bear. Not an easy feeling to describe if you haven't been there.
