This article has me ready to schedule a hiking/camping trip in bear country this year. I so would like to see what would come up and grow. I like that they intend to plant some of the seedlings in the area where the scat was found. Return to mother nature her own. I must remember that and do likewise if successful. Read this awesome account...

Actually...... I'm one of the weirdos that have planted a poo or two.
![]() While walking about the forest I run into many variable forms of scat. I sometime take a more close look to see what may have left it. Sometimes, it's chuck full of crayfish shells (Coon) sometimes seed. Here and there, seeds I have never seen before fill the earthy nuggets. I once found scat so full of some sort of triangular and glossy seeds it had a high shine. (Possibly from a partridge??) Soooo that lead me to wondering, What from and in order to find out...... I gathered it up and set it aside for future Planting. BUT...... I either saved it a little bit too long or it needed Winter stratification. Nothing sprouted. Quote:
