Who done it?

[AnimalCrazed]

I'm going to make this short, I found a dead wild duck in my yard and the breasts were completely eaten and gone.

At first I thought my dog must have gotten this duck but after seeing it eaten I'm just not sure. Two years ago he got one of my chickens and play trampled it to death but didnt eat it!

I'm just confused and was wondering if there is another preador that does this or if it really was my dog.... where is Sherlock Holmes when you need him!

Raccoons tend to eat just the crop. Otherwise mink will sometimes just eat the head and neck.

This link may be helpful. From this looks like a raccoon is the likely culprit.

That makes it sound raccoonish... interesting!
