While they did not dismember them, they did chew on them, generally gnawing on the breast area. There was no doubt about the culprits since I caught them in the act more than once but found it practically impossible to make a racoon proof coop. If they are not all asleep, I would suspect them.

My Dad was wondering what might kill a male pheasant in the night. We've talked about fox, coyote, owl. Nothing was heard in the night. The cat was going snaky though! Staring through the windows, jumping to get higher vantage points to see out the window. She definitely knew something was going on in the backyard. The pheasant was found in the am. But nothing was 'missing' from him. Whatever killed him wasn't interested in eating. ( or was startled away. ) This was before the snow, so no one was able to find any other tracks or tell tale signs. Just wondering.... Thanks.
