i've found coyote scat less than 100 yrds from the house so they get fired upon when targets appear. ferrel pigs across the street really do some damage to crops and deer corn so they get shot at. only caught a glimpse of a bobcat once, but hear them in the woods occasionally. I think they're kinda cool so unless one became a problem they get a free pass. pretty sure black bears are protected in my county, no desire to shoot one anyway. we have beaver dams along the run on the backside of our property which keeps the wood ducks around so they are definately welcome friends. if a catamount is a mountain lion or panther i've heard rumours from completely unreliable sources that they exsist in the pee dee so i don't really have an opinion on them

Just curious - how do you distinguish coyote scat from bobcat scat?
I have seen a more and more scat on some land I have around Lake Moultrie next to USFS.

Don't need a field guide. Grandaddy said taste is how you tell the difference.
