Kind of an odd thing to post but we came across several piles of this scat during our elk hunt and cannot figure out what it came from. Found in southern Idaho. Any ideas?

Somebody left their homemade backcountry granola all-in-one meal behind!

llama poop looks like deer poop, small pellets.

Tough to get a scale in the photo but if those are about 1.5" in diameter, looks like bear poop, maybe got into someone's grain/granola!

We thought it could be bear but it seemed kind of small...at least compared to the other piles of bear scat we came across while up there. I couldn't post a bigger picture for some reason but it almost looks like red chili flakes. Really odd!
