I was thinking bear, too, but I couldn't see how it could have gotten through the fence!
Didn't even think of raccoon, but that makes sense. Still pretty big...
Just goes to show there are still *thousands* of topics still left to discuss in the Hobbit Hole...
Yeah, like I said in the SC too... raccoon didn't occur to me either. I haven't seen any raccoons, but I know they're around, and I guess they'd eat blackberries, which are ripe right now. I don't know if I thought they'd bury it like a cat or what, but I've never known raccoons by their droppings or given any thought about what it might look like. Deer, rabbit and coyote poo, I've seen back there, but nothing with berries in it. I associate that with bears, and it really set me back wondering what to do if I had a bear around. We had one a few years ago just a mile from here that was repeatedly spotted along the freeway at 93rd, eating berries like the cars weren't even there. I was concerned enough about him then that I stopped leaving garbage outside... for awhile. We've got a can outside now again, but back then, I saved it up till I had six cans then went to the dump.
