Hey all, I surprisingly can find little information on this: today while checking my line I came across a rabbit foot in the path. Odd I thought, so I moved down the path it was crossing and found a half of a vole, some mouse legs, and half of a rabbit ear. Just up above it on a small berm was a seemingly fresh dug hole full of bits and pieces of various critters that had been partially buried. I could find no tracks nearby, but my assumption is that this is a fox cache of sorts? I've watched coyotes eat before and I know for a fact that foot would have been at least mostly if not completely eaten, and I've never seen them leave enough of such small critters to bury them. Thanks in advance for the answers and insight. This being my first year trapping, trapperman has been the most invaluable possible tool and the kindness shown by members has been beyond incredible. God bless you all.

Nope. Not a track in sight, I scoured for them too.
