Need help identifying scat found in run from last night

[Akrnaf2]

I just tossed this wormy scat over the fence. It was still moist enough to smear up my collection device @ 9:15AM this morning. I never bother to close the run door so it doesn't have to be a climbing predator.

Potential predators are: Raccoon, Coyote, Javalina, Possum, Owl, Jaguarundi, Occelot(rare), rats too but these nodules of poo were approximately nickle to quarter sized. Also there was a thick white urea rich area on one of the nodules. Where this scat was found there is no overhead cover for a roosting bird as well.

Ft Squawks was not compromised at all, its why I never shut my run door. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Could have been a henway. I don't think possum or coon... only based on the photos seen on the net.

Oh, NOW you gone and done it!! Do you want me to reveal that you were the 'mysterious thing' that snuck over to take a dump in Allen's yard? Huh? Nope, I thought not, you Elvis hater you. Keep your boots, please. <<grumble>>

My, you are cute today! Bless your little heart!

@AllenK RGV so the run was open for all to visit. Any sign from last night?

What's a henway?

There seems to be a population explosion of henways in my microclimate this year.

Does it resemble a niggle? Or a nargle, or a niffler? Really!

From the pics I would say coon, set out a live trap baited with cantaloupe or honey dew mellon. This will get coons, possums, ground hogs and many others. Note if its is a big coon it will destroy a live trap to get out! T - 1 live trap,,,, I then set foot traps near the melon piece. also in a place that the dogs, etc are not going to be in.
