Bear or Cougar or somethin' else- You guess!

Only I would post a disgusting pile of poo on my blog. But here's the story... last night Summit gave a bark in the night. This morning I walked outside and at the end of our driveway was this. This morning I saw two turkey vultures heading into the woods across the street. Coincidence? Hmmm...wonder if there is a kill over there. Saw two doe last night at sunset in the field right below our neighbors house- not far from where the vulture headed down. Yikes.

I'm going to put my money on a cougar scat.. what do you think? It's much too large to be a bobcat, and pretty hairy for a bear. I'm going to send this along to our resident cougar biologist for his assessment and then get the answers.. in the meantime.. any guesses?

The last picture here show the pile in the middle of the road. The suspected kill is off to the right here.
