Does this belong to a mountain lion/bobcat?
I came across these scratch marks/poop while walking my dog in the woods today - I live in a heavily wooded area in the mountains of Western NC. The scratch marks seem to be too low to be a black bear. Doubt it's a rutting buck - marks look reasonably fresh, wrong season and the marks seem to have been dragged from top to bottom.
The poop (yeah, I took a picture of it) nearby contained a ton of light-colored hair, so I don't think it belonged to a dog, bear or coyote.
The scratch marks/poop kind of look like they belong to a big cat. Suggestions?
