It just might be time to construct a door for that much improved shelter of yours, Jim! Surely it might not stop a bear to reek havoc on but I would surely give it a try!
Sure looks like porcupine poop. Sometimes in bad weather it is just nice to have a dry spot to poop. haha! Guess your local porcupine found one. lol Thanks for sharing Jim! :) :)
Really?? Ok I just Googled it and muskrat poop seems smaller and more irregular in shape than what I found in my shelter. Also, my shelter is a pretty good walk uphill from our muskrat/ beaver pond. I don’t think they would come up this far.
@@MuskratJim Yea probably porcupine. I just figured word got out and the muskrats heard they had a relative named Jim up the hill and figured you would put em up and fed with a hot meal or two....
@@MuskratJim Either the critter was eating too well - or eating too much bad stuff - and blowing its tubes ... much like these Canada geese we have here in SanFran that leave piles like some raccoon and his friends ate candied Exlax and had diarrhea, and its a minefield at the local lake shoreline !

Umm Hmm Prickly Pig Dun Did It I Say ! Been An Easy Winter Here 2 Thanks For The Post Jim ! ATB Ter & Mel God Bless
It just might be time to construct a door for that much improved shelter of yours, Jim! Surely it might not stop a bear
to reek havoc on but I would surely give it a try!
A door might be good! 🤠👍🏼
Building a shelter in the woods. There's a good chance some sort of animal will think "look at the nice outhouse!" 🤣🤣
Great video!
Very true, especially in bad weather!
Sure looks like porcupine poop. Sometimes in bad weather it is just nice to have a dry spot to poop. haha! Guess your local porcupine found one. lol Thanks for sharing Jim! :) :)
I agree with you about having a nice place to “go” in bad weather. Hopefully I won’t have to clean it up again the next time I visit my shelter!
That's poop I have never seen before. So Could be porcupine. We don't have them around here.
I’m 99% sure it’s porcupine. No other animals around here have poop like that.
All the bears must be using those bare spots as their outhouse.
No bear sign… yet!
Pooping in your shelter.. that's just rude. 🤣🤣
Thanks for the video brother
Thanks for watching, brother 🤠👍🏼
Hey Jim.. I am surprised you did not recognize the poop. It is muskrat poop. Best as I can tell it sure looks like to me..
Really?? Ok I just Googled it and muskrat poop seems smaller and more irregular in shape than what I found in my shelter. Also, my shelter is a pretty good walk uphill from our muskrat/ beaver pond. I don’t think they would come up this far.

Snow is almost gone here in Ontario. Thank you for sharing this with us, Jim. I think.. Stay safe and stay warm
Thanks for watching! My next video won’t be about animal droppings 🤠👍🏼
I’m with you on this Jim. I think that is Porcupine poop. The melt is on here too.
Early Spring for sure. Thanks for watching.
Amazing the things a pile of poop can tell you. I always go with the overall message, i.e. "Step somewhere else". LOL
LOL 🤠👍🏼
Well, if it isn't obvious, "thassa lotta s--- !"
Yup. It all looked so fresh too. Hard to believe it was just one individual.
@@MuskratJim Either the critter was eating too well - or eating too much bad stuff - and blowing its tubes ... much like these Canada geese we have here in SanFran that leave piles like some raccoon and his friends ate candied Exlax and had diarrhea, and its a minefield at the local lake shoreline !
😂😂😂 Love it!
Hahaha! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤠👍🏼
🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed that short unexpected video 🤠👍🏼

Not bear or deer... I just looked it up... porcupine for sure. Good guess on your part 😊
Thanks.
Time to put a Trail cam in the shelter😏… be well
I think you’re right. A trail cam would definitely answer the question 🤠👍🏼
crappy situation
🤠👍🏼for sure 💩💩
I am ougraged !
Such an ( Schweinetier in German ) pigs animal 😃
Sasquatch ... maybe !?
Regards from Germania
Jürgen
I suspect if it was Sasquatch, I would need a larger shovel 💩💩💩
@@MuskratJim 😏 everybody starts small ... then you were lucky again 😃
Ya i believe Porcupine poop too, Maybe put a camera up around or inside.
That might be a good idea.
Inquiring minds want to know.......what did they taste like??? 😂
That was the WORST bean salad EVER!! LOL
@@MuskratJim - HA!!!!!
Well, it wasn't me.
I’m happy to hear that!! 🤠👍🏼
might need a door
Maybe so…
Porcupine poop
Yup, I’m sure of it.

Sounds like porcupine except they were green and shiny fresh. I don’t think we have Possoms this far north.
@@MuskratJim Maybe it was some Canadian pouptine ....
crappy video. LMAO 😂
