Would a fox kill 3 adult turkeys including a large male and take them all away the same day?

Hi. So today in the morning I have lost 3 adult turkeys 2 hens and a large tom nothing was left only feathers and a small patch of blood but killed in different locations in the field. Could a single fox do this? We only have racoon dogs and wolves in may area and foxes. Thanks for any answers

What's your location? I bet you also have coyotes. They are everywhere. Here where I live, coyotes are the main predator of our wild turkeys. They swoop in as a pack and kill, leaving piles of feathers. Foxes usually are solitary not in packs. It would be a pack of coyotes or wolves if you have wolves in plentiful numbers.

I'm located in Eastern Europe at the moment and we don't have coyotes

Do you have wolves? Or stray dogs?

Whoops just saw in your original post that you do have those. I would suspect the wolves or dogs then. I don’t think a lone fox could do that.

Oh actually I was thinking wolves as we have a big issue with them here. I have no idea how to deter them

I think it could be the wolves too. Not sure on deterring them though.

Could it have been a 2 legged predator? I am starting to think I may have to put locks on my gate and coop to keep the hungry 2 legged predators out. Theft is out of control even in the countryside.
