I live in west central Georgia Anyway I have a couple of 110’s set behind my house in blind sets. One is set in a undercut bank that has a lot of critter tracks going through it. Today I saw that my set was disturbed and I saw my chain was tight and I found my trap at the end of the chain (it’s on a drag with about 8 feet of chain so If I catch a Coon it hopefully won’t blow up the set) and I found a fox squirrel that looked like it had been skinned out totally and eaten except the feet. I mean it almost looks like it was case skinned in laying the head and then put in the trap. What kind of critter would eat a squirrel like that?
