Well they all will !!
Coon will when she has babies.....
Weasel will eat the brains first.....
Owl will also but most likely carry it off....and or you will hear them or see them sitting around close to kill.

It's an owl if the head is gone and body still there.
Mink will kill everything and bite behind the neck close to the head. They usually drag their kill away or under cover.
There is a way to trap the owl but highly doubt it's legal...
