Came across this spore at the top of my property. I’ve seen goats up there before but not deer, although there are allegedly a few rogue reds and fallow about. Any experts able to tell me which? I’m leaning towards fallow based purely on size, but I suppose it could be a young red?
Bonus pic of a wee porker I shot at the same time (Sunday avo).

Fallow hind
Or very young red hind
set up a trail cam......
good to see another old brno out doing the business
A deer, a smaller one.
Last summers late fawn.
A fallow hind is my guess too.
They seem quite capable of hiding in plain sight in crappy grass, scrub and other small patches of cover, and appear happy being in close contact with human made sounds (tractors, quads etc etc). I am spotting a few turning up on my farm now. During the rut a stag was hanging around down by my cattle yards (could smell him). But buggered if I could see find. Spotted him the other day and he's WHITE!!! So really unsure about my eyesight now. Cant find a bloody white deer in a green farm now:o
Does it taste salty?
Looks like goat shit, and since you've seen goats there before that would make it more likely to be a goat. Im sure we've all spent time looking at goat shit wishing it was a deer
It never fails to amaze me when you go hunting with a so called expert, they approach a piece of shit like they are the best tracker in the world. They sniff it, lick it, roll it, flick it and then they say words of wisdom like "we are very close" and you don't see anything for the rest of the day.Quote:

I know my shit since I check in the bowl every day.
As for a spore, it's the weirdest looking mushroom I've ever seen.
If it walks like a duck, and shits like a duck, I would say it's a goat :)
The only fresh shit is the stuff between the arse and the ground.
Fresh pelletised shit usually smells like its owner. Squash it between your fingers and it should smell like sheep/goat/deer. Simple.
No and I don't plan on doing a taste test, I think I'll save that for wine.Quote:

the straight bladed twin trigger would suggest a BRUNO..... quite a neat set up they were..... looks like a much loved rifle,it sure is still out there doing the hard yards.
Given the age I am, and that fact I had to shit in a bag lately and send it to the government, I can unequivocally tell you that on visual it isn't mine.
The fact that I haven't been in the Waikato since coming home from the Rolling stones concert Cira 1995 seems to clear my name completely.
I think it's goat shit.
Off topic but it reminds me of an old joke. A young girl sitting beside and older gentleman on a plane asks "what do you do?' He replies "I'm a rocket scientist"
" maybe you can explain something for me", "OK" he says. "Deer, cows and horses all eat grass yet their droppings are all different, The deer little shiny pellets, the cow a loose mess and the horse round balls" she asks. The man says" I don't know". to which the girl replies " how can you be a rocket scientist when you don'T know SHIT?
Thanks, it’s a BRNO ZKK601 .243 (EBRG).Quote:
