raptors are federally protected. you cannot kill them per federal law.

I'm perplexed. not many critters are going to break necks and let carcass there.

if it had spots of hair missing under its arms....same thing happens to the squirrels here when tey get plague.

doesn't look like mange. mange would be large areas of missing hair where the skin is irritated and bumpy and sometimes coated with puss.

Raccoon possibly.

where do you live? when you say...no marks...there are no bite marks?

Awesome post!

I don't really know. I gut mine and cook at a high enough temp that it kills everything. I know last year we had some squirrels in town that were carrying the plague or rabies. I don't usually eat city dwelling tree rats. They are a lot more seceptable to carrying stuff I don't wish to come...

Squirrels taste good......rub them down with a little olive oil and bread with some panko crumbs...sprinkle with sea salt and bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes....mmmm mmmm....so delicious.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have only been here for a minute and already this forum has me reading every post. I am trying to learn as much as I can. It is going to be a great year.

Everything is fine and there are no hard feelings on this end.

Have a good day.

I don't know how they do things in Wisconsin. In Colorado, unless you catch a domestic animal attacking a person or livestock, you can't just shoot it because it's on your property. If you do, that's when you get a fine for animal cruelty. So am I to understand that if your coon dog steps...

I guess that I am one of those responsible pet owners. I have spoken to my neighbors and have asked on several occasions about my cat roaming the neighborhood. None of neighbors seem to mind. Like previously stated, my cat has all of it's vaccinations and we keep it healthy and groomed ad it...

I belong to some predator hunting sites. They cover more of the hunting aspect of predators. If you are looking for info on specific predators, I would say to do an internet search on what predators you have in your location, read about their habits of feeding, breeding and living. Once you...

I also live in Larimer county and I was under the impression from calling and talking to the ASPCA in Ft Collins that there is some small fee for taking stray animals there. Maybe the person I spoke to was not knowledgeable about this? But now I know that there is no fee. Thanks for bringing...

The ASPCA does the same thing here. If I take an animal to the "pound", I have to pay some fee to drop it off. I just posted this in another thread, but the herb Rue is a natural cat repellent. Cats hate the smell of this plant. This herb flowers, so you get some color added to your...

My cat is both an indoor and an outdoor cat. He is neutered, licensed and has all required vaccinations as well as collars. He still has all of his claws and he is very good about keeping the mice at bay. He only gets fed indoors and we do not leave food outside. Do I think all cats are bad...

Is your coop enclosed? Any fencing around the coop should continue below ground for at least six inches. Skunks, possums and raccoons are mostly nocturnal, so the use of motion sensor flood lights will help deter them. If you have dogs as pets, the bobcat will most likely stay away. Bobcats...

Mink are primarily nocturnal, so an attack in the middle of the day seems odd and I would rule it out. Could also be a fox. Foxes are indiscriminate killers. They don't always kill to eat, sometimes it's for sport. Weasels are the same way.
