After studying Rezendes book, I'd say you've got eastern coyote. Rezendes says coyote scat ranges from 1/4 to 1 5/16" while wolf scat ranges from 1/2" to 1 7/8". It exceeds diameters he cites for coyote scat diameters, but only larger diameter than that would be wolf, but we know there are no wolves in Whites. Could be a bob cat. He goes on at length diameter ranges with many photographs with rulers for scale. He says cats frequently bury their scats or at least prepare shallow holes. He says coyote poops exhibit great variation depending on what's in season fruit wise and what stage they're at in eating a carcass. When they first go at a carcass their poop will be dark and black and when they get to the less desirable parts scat will have more hair. Bear is the only other large mammal with scat approaching this size, but bear scat seems to be mainly round and chunky, not long and tapered like this. He also mentions winter coyote scat as having twisted appearance which yours has. Get Mrs. Santa to work and order this book!!!
