Well i just found another headless rabit in the woods today. This is the third one this year. I assume it is just a coyote but i thought they would definately eat all of their kill. Also it is in the middle of a firly dry wood land so that pretty much rules out a mink. Each one i have found has had the their heads neatly removed and the rest is just left there.

Any thoughts on this.

Sounds like the work of the Great Horned Owl.

For some reason the Great Horned Owl will just eat the head??? Last deer
