Well that is the evidence! With all that snow I would think there would be tracks or signs of some kind. It does look to have been done by an animal that kills to kill..not for food! I agree, it possibly could have been "Skeeted" though I hate to think that.

If you dont own one, borrow a game camera and aim it at the door. When critter comes through you will at least know what it is.Then you can proceed from there as how to remove it.

Looks like the Mink/Weasel has it in the poll. I really don't know since I have no experience in that area. Still looking for the Indian!
