What eats my golf balls? in the winter

[Sublight]

I do like the game cam idea, but no funds at the moment for such luxuries. setting up and watching is an option as I can watch from the living room.
Also Easter is almost here, plastic eggs will be cheap and can be filled with things like plaster, cement, rat bars,,
There is also a pattern, Saturday night was the first night that was clear, no rain, nothing last night. More rain is predicted and it will be right after that rain that I get hit again. That will be Thursday through Saturday, maybe Wednesday night if the rain clears out.
What I can eliminate is coons, they would be chartering up a storm. An opossum would have been trapped, dog or coon too. A rat may have been able to get around the foot traps, or maybe a snake would not spring them,, IDK.
The dogs did sniff all around and do the same at a gate, I may also set a trap there! The hole I found in the fence, now with a live trap in it has produced nothing, so I will fix the hole, and move the trap.
My little girl dog did kill a rat in the yard yesterday, but I dont think it was large enuf to carry off golf balls.

If your coop is close enough to your house, then get a wifi camera for around 35 bucks, and you can watch the coop from your smartphone. You can set it up so you get push notifications when anything goes into the nesting box.

I use the indoor version inside my coop, and it works like a champ. Its not waterproof, but Ive had no problems with it being outdoors for like 3-4 months.

Possum maybe. Would any animal eat them and come back for more? I'm sure they have a chicken odor from being in the box but it's going to take massive jaw strength to eat them. Plus, one at a time is one thing, but 6 all at once?

Too bad, I cannot post the videos, but we have a putting practice in our backyard and the golf balls were disappearring each night.
we put a video camera and…we saw huge crows picking one golf ball at a time in their beak and fly away to their own nests. Bye , balls…
