Is this a gobbler turd?

[The Lung]

I have more time than usual to scout preseason and I've never actually looked much for droppings. Do y'all think this is a gobbler turd?

No. Hard to say what it is without knowing scale but it ain't a turkey. Birds, and especially turkeys, pretty much always going to have a white cap or at least some white in it as a result of urine.

Looks like racoons scat to me.

I had seen where gobbler poop is supposed to be J shaped, so I was hopeful.
Thanks for the responses.

Surprisingly that whole J shaped difference is absolutely true and has to do with sexual organs located near the cloaca on the male birds. Either sex, though, it's usually going to be green or greenish brown and it's almost always going to have white on one end.

You have to taste it to be certain.

Well said, - and if you are finding A LOT of those J droppings where you are at - make sure you hunt that area regularly. If birds are frequenting logging roads, ridges or fields enough to leave a bunch of J-droppings, you can bet that is the area to hunt.
