Zoli 12 guage Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 while out for a walk with the hound earlier and he found this. big pile of fur,spine is completely removed as is one back leg,the other back leg is still attached to a small portion of the back end,the rest of body and head are missing. all the bits were in a 2.5 mtr circle. i firstly thought fox,but a fox would have just carried it all off. no smart answers like .308 or .22-250 please😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have seen half a dozen magpies rip a dead collared dove to shreds in a few minutes,,,, just before the golf course groundsman went over it with his towing mower blades 😲 Never seen such a spread of feathers and bits 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoli 12 guage Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 thanks chaps. there are a few buzzards in the area BUT the thing that struck me the most was the fact that the rabbit was in bits with the majority of the parts missing and the full spinal column being detached.

islandgun Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I usually see the skin turned inside out after the flesh has gone, would imagine the remains have been stripped by rats or old'ns mice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
