Hi Angela,
Weasels are capable and do kill pheasants and other things like rabbits. I
have witnessed them doing both.

Subject: [NatureNS] Q. from my Dad ( pheasant leg bones, trees, and maybe a
weasal )
Hi there.
My Dad sent me a question and was wondering if I could ask around. I've cut
and pasted his e mail below. They live in Beaverbank.
...."This am I found a hole in the snow at the base of a large spruce
tree-40-0 feet or more high - and in the hole was the remains of a pheasant
leg , from the 3 toes to the joint and attached to the bone to it's breast
area . Just bone, everything else cleaned off . Would this be the work of a
rat or weasel? When I uncovered the snow, the hole turned and went back down
and under the stump/root/ base of the tree. No tracks or feathers. Could
this have been hauled there ? Haven't found a kill site. Do weasels kill
pheasant? My working career was at Lands and Forests where the weasel was
the only animal that was probable me !!!!!"....
Thanks for any thoughts you might have,
Angela in Windsor
