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.

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?!

Munge,
How are you?
Doesn't look like horse to me at all and I grew up riding so... Maybe a donkey pack animal? Not exactly the locale for wild donkeys.

That, my friend, is some baby poo.
As for the mystery, no, but I'm going back to check it out. I would be shocked if it were horse packers.
Maybe it is El Chupacabra poop!!!

interesting that you say elk. hrm
some speculation also that it is a small burro.
there are a lot of deer out there, but the deer pellets I've seen are black and small.

almost has to be mule
no elk in the Sierra, coyote and deer poo don't look anything like that, could almost resemble Bighorn poo but doesn't sound like your Top Secret location was in sheep habitat - summer they are up high above treeline, and winter they are lower than that.
Great thread, tho, very educational. Todd has a photo for everything, are all those scanned ahead of time or do you go through and fire up the scanner special for each one?

Perhaps we can use the process of elimination (heh).
We've already established that it ain't owl.
It also ain't elk:
moose:
cougar:
deer:
coyote:
wallaby:
black bear:
and doesn't really look like horse, since Munge's crap doesn't have a 10 pound note stuck in it.
So what else lives in the Sierra Nevada?
I submit that it is Sasquatch crap.
P.S. If you ever want to learn about about some real interesting alternative lifestyles, try looking for pictures of animal crap on google images. Holy...something. And for A. Crowley & Co., if you type "horse turds" into google images, the results will amuse you.

Man. I can't wait for the steady stream of fresh and juicy TRs, and more posts by Holdplease2 and her cool aid/technical climbing theses. I really enjoy her posts. Unless that's already her gig, she would make an excellent technical writer. We must be really bored when we have a whole thread dedicated to scatology, no less. That plate of whatever looked pretty gross. Looks like it's something that would give someone the runs rather than a stool. But hey, it's nature, so have at it with the fecal fascination. I think animal droppings are pretty interesting myself. I used to hang out at a local dairy when I was growing up in Sonoma, so am used to seeing and smelling the stuff. I can remember every year the air in the Valley Of The Moon would fill with the pungent odor of manure when the dairyman would spread it on their hay fields to fertilize them for next years crop. Miss that.

Seems like a vegetarian diet to me. (the other close up pic does not)
i would say a deer or gazelle's poop or similar.

Looks like a bear has been eating a strictly vegetarian diet to me. We have scat like this here in the spring in our high country when the snow is almost gone. I have a great picture to compare it to, but I do not know how to post pics yet. Also my pic is of grizz crap so the volume is a much larger pile. It definately is not goat, sheep, horse, elk, deer, moose, dog, or even Todd Gordons unruly manimal. I track and check scat a lot while hiking here and have seen many bear piles similar.
When you see a huge pile up here it is both good news and bad news when there is huckleberries in the pile. You could get eaten, but there are a buch of ripe huckleberries nearby.
