Looks like Horse, but that would probly be to obvious, so my guess is Moose.

interesting, hadn't thought of Owl.
Do Ptarmidgeons (sp?) poop that much?
Sierra Nevada range. higher elevation, but within forest line.

I'm sure the birders would know better, but don't owl pellets have fur and bones in them? That would be an easy test to see if it's from owls.
I'm not sure of scale, but my guess would be feral donkeys if it's the right size and it doesn't look like this:

That poop looks like a 9 on the hardness scale of 1-10, 7 being optimal.

If only there were a poop identification website.
I must admit I have not even googled for such a thing, but I think I'm right otherwise Shack and Blinny would have the definitive answer by now.

If the terrain pictured (heavy with fallen twigs/branches) is widespread horse tracks might not necessarily be so visible as you'd expect; it most resembles horse droppings. If not and there's been no rain to wipe out tracks then your culprit was airborn, though the chances of that seem slim. Not enough debris.
Your pooper apparently ate grass and not animal carcasses.
Ergo it's horse or sheep or goat.

I think it's smaller than it looks in the picture and would second Locker's guess. Wile E.

That doesn't look like horse poop to me. I had a horse as a kid, and of course have seen plenty of horse apples. The pictured ones aren't rounded and symmetrical enough for horse poop. Although....if it's a wild burro, or horse, maybe the pooh would be less "perfect."
The PooPographer should have posted some measurement info, at the least.

Yeah that's right! Who the hell photographs poop anyway?
And why the hell are we replying to this thread?!
Didn't Elliot Gould star in a movie about a photographer that wanders around New York taking pictures of what dogs have left in the street?
