Look in the areas surounding the depost for sources for the "seeds" in the stool. Does it look like birdfood or scavenged seeds like viburnum and blueberry. If you inspect the plants to see what their seeds look like, you can get an idea what the origin of the seed is in the poo. Generally speaking seed is not digested in animals. Look in the yard around the deposit, fresh mud, loose loam etc for footprints. Bears generally have round stool, kind of ballish, my guess is that you may have coyotes, fox or another small animal (obviously) around. Your safe bet is to make noise before you go out, keep the trash sealed, clean up the animal stool so domestic animals don't eat or roll in it, gross I know, but parasites may be in it. Contact a local game official or police if your delemma worsens. You also can purchase motion activated game cameras through cabellas if you really want to see what goes on your property while you sleep...they are really wild to have.
