Help identify poop outside run

[Sarkchick]

This is from over night outside the run. Chickens were looked up in coop. It is large size poop. What animal did this? I live in the Piney woods in SE Arkansas. I placed a 12x1" ruler by it but you can not read numbers. Any ideas? Have raccoons, possum, and coyotes, In the area.

Thanks Linda

I'm going to guess a very large raccoon; although, fox is not our of the question. It is indeed one of the 'bad guys'.

Thank you for the reply. I just put out a trail cam on that area. I'm sure it will return. It's just much larger than any I have seen in the past.
Thanks again, Linda

I think it might be coyote poop. If you have a game camera, put it up. Most likely whatever it is has been around and then you will know. Good luck.

I read your post that you put up a camera. I love my cameras and have been surprised at the predators that roam around here especially at night. Again good luck...

That looks like racoon, or young bear, their poops can be very similar.

I was thinking small bear or large raccoon too.

Thank you. It looks like it's full of berries. Like raccoon scat, just a lot bigger. I have camera and live trap baited with sardines and foot traps bated with marshmallows. So maybe tomorrow I will know

Hope it's a raccoon. I have several traps, cage and foot. But nothing for a bear. I know they have been seen 5-6 miles from here. Hope to know tomorrow. Thanks for reply.
