Since you place the food out daily, it's a special treat for a reappearing critter. To bad you don't have a critter camera to catch the critter in the process.

Our game cameras show them eating right along with deer, wild turkey, blackbirds, jays, etc. I'm not sure they would haul off the apparent source of their food, though, so I'm looking forward to you solving this mystery!Charadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16461603001722068211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-50344493561151702992016-06-20T23:52:06.960-04:002016-06-20T23:52:06.960-04:00I like the dusting for footprints idea!I like the dusting for footprints idea!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-77336162890389485622016-06-20T22:16:48.565-04:002016-06-20T22:16:48.565-04:00Now that's a mystery wrapped around an enigma!...Now that's a mystery wrapped around an enigma!Nancy In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749272217529362089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-91434361130901732642016-06-20T21:48:52.111-04:002016-06-20T21:48:52.111-04:00Our raccoons here in the Pacific NW are perfectly ...Our raccoons here in the Pacific NW are perfectly healthy and can be found dining at all times of the day or night.
