I killed a nice fat little raccoon last night at about 03:00. Caught it in the spotlight, trying to get into the hen house, and punched a couple of holes in it with the .22 from inside the house, then went out and insured the kill with a head shot.
It was thoroughly dead. I left it where it was intending to dispose of the carcass this morning.
Woke this morning to find the critter gone! 8-10 pounds of raccoon gone without even a tuff of fur on the ground.
I suspect a coyote, since we do not have stray dogs in my area. A small critter would have eaten it in place.
Whatever it is, it is big enough to tote off a 10 pound coon over the fence of the chicken run and I am out there running around in the middle of the night with it.
Gives one pause to think.
It's a jungle out there.
