Spotted on the path in our neighborhood. Oddly, our dog had zero interest in it. 

Deer? Bear? Chupacabra?

Looks like a small deer left it behind.

Deffinately not bear. They make big ol ploppers.

Size and shape looks like rabbit.  Quantity suggests deer, but the size is small.

 

My grandfather would have said that flavor is the best identifier.

In reply to Apis Mellifera :

One of this year's crop of deer. Our NC farm is covered up with yearlings. There are piles just like that everywhere. 

Of note, deer eyes glow yellow in a flashlight. 15 of them in a dark field will scare the crap out of a 19-year-old walking back to the RV by himself with nothing but a cellphone light. The way he came running back to the house suggested there may have been demons out there. 

30 eyes would probably raise the hair on my neck as well.

Taste it and report back your findings.  That'll help us narrow it down.
