Deker 3,478 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Might sound silly but are there any cats on the farm they love killing birds just a thought. Not silly at all, because that came to my mind as well , cats will often eat a head and can often be lacking in the brains dept! This whole thing is very un fox like, the polecat family may well have something to do with this , but various things here say the fox doesn't! This doesn't look like any bird work either. First choice would be Polecat Family then cats! Quote Link to post
TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi All Just a up date on the disturbing discovery, nothing been back and killed anything else to date. Have a few tunnels with fenns around the area where the mystery slayer tried to exit with the duck.if I catch anything I'll post it up, cheers lads n lasses for the advise. Ps the skin was ripped not feather plucked. Atb 223 Quote Link to post
