This morning I counted 16 females with juveniles just in my yard. Now you said Elk?!?!?! I just moved here and I have a zoo in my yard! LOL

Zoo? Nah, you're a deer farmer!

Thanks for the tour! Can you tell the difference between coyote and fox scat?

Unfortunately, there is no definite way to tell the difference between a fox and a coyote, as they are both canids, and the scat looks very similar. Size would be one way to tell as the fox is generally smaller, but without having a side-by-side comparison, it is difficult to make the call on what is small and large.
