Since you both stated cat/bobcat, I did some more research. Apparently there are bobcat where I live - I had no clue and so thought my only options of that size were fox and coyote.
We do have tons of coyote, and I feel pretty sure that's at least what took my last three given their close howling that evening.
It sounds like I can stop catching raccoons then, eh? I've now caught three in the past week, right next to the coop.
I'm not yet a good enough shot to hunt and neither long-term confinement nor dogs are suitable options given our current layout. We will be moving next year and those options will be requisites for the new spot. In the meantime, I'm going to continue to try trapping and work on getting game cams. Any helpful references for trapping canids would be appreciated.
Thank you both for your input! And certainly for helping me discover that we actually have bobcats, which I've never even considered.
