What is this thing??

So one of my turkeys got killed two nights ago. I would post the pic of how I found her, thinking that may help people figure out what the predator was, but I’m not sure if I’m allowed. Anyways my dad caught a rather bad photo of something yesterday evening. One of the only characteristics that he mentioned was that it had deep inset eyes.

You can post pictures of the turkey. You just need to put a graphic spoiler on it.

The picture is really terrible and you can't make anything out. Be on the lookout to see if it returns.

It looks like a dog to me.

While the photo is very bad, my dad was rather close to it. It wasn’t a dog. He said he thought it was a ground hog at first, but you can pretty much tell from the photo it’s not.

Canine with mange look at the nostrils.

My first thought was groundhog, maybe an otter?

Yah zoom in looks like a dog or a small feral pig, the nose and droopy ears. Just a guess the picture is not very clear.

I wish the OP would come back and update this
