Mr Fox, in the library, with the candlestick?
Looks more like Mr Eagle, in the dining room, with a dagger to me
Most of the dog guy's now tend to not be real poachers more like vandals, when I was training as a keeper I had a rather nasty spate of Idiots from Cantrell Farm with lurchers killing the deer then leaving it in the middle of a field or at the side of the road, didn't take much to fix the situation though

Nah, both urchins and eagles carry their prey away - one to a dodgy backstreet butcher with a bloodstained apron, and the other to a craggy peak all covered in bones. Duh
Yes, we had a bit of this where I was last. So depressing.
Not sure we can tell either way from the evidence before us though. It's a fun game. I once found a fox skeleton and carefully sifted through, seeing if there might be a complete set of bones... when I got to the bottom I found the slug that had done for poor Charlie. Farmer Green in the back paddock with the revolver.
It is fun playing CSI - Bushcrafter isn't it.
Charlie is a pain but he is a pain I didn't mind (much), Mink on the other hand... I could tell you a story about a mink a landrover a live trap and a bunch of 1st year student keepers that would make you wet yourself with laughter but I don't want to derail the thread. PM me if you want a chuckle.

Glad you say MOST of the dog guys. There are a few of us left that take for the pot to feed the family and i take pride in the fact that everything i catch or my dog catches gets eaten, i take what i need and no more. I know its wrong but we generally all do things that are wrong everyday.Most of the dog guy's now tend to not be real poachers more like vandals, when I was training as a keeper I had a rather nasty spate of Idiots from Cantrell Farm with lurchers killing the deer then leaving it in the middle of a field or at the side of the road, didn't take much to fix the situation though
Poacher, I support repealing the ban and I am well aware of a few who do it to add to the family table. I have no problem with that, infact I support it I used to let it be know if you wanted a rabbit or twenty talk to me first then I would OK you for it and also payed a £50 bounty on a Fox. I am all for that, But now it's mostly idiots who will go out and kill a deer and do it so they can see there "Illegal dog" kill something.
I still let my old girl(13 years old) take a few rabbits, but oddly she asks first always has she is a odd heinz 57 mix, when she wants to chase something she puts her foot on mine and waits till I say go.
As I said there is a real difference from REAL dog men and the majority at the moment.

I do fully understand where you are coming from. I did used to know some rather nasty characters many years ago when i lived in West Sussex that had no compassion for the animals they hunted or the dogs they used, they were expendable. To me my dog was something special, i got him at 8 weeks old and had him put to sleep 6 weeks ago at the age of 13 due to old age. He was my best friend to be sure in every way.
I totally support any Keeper that tries to stop idiots that do it for the fun of seeing something suffer or to earn bragging rights of who has the fasted dog.
Blimey I didn't think one photo would get this response, I'm glad I didn't post the photo of the woman on the beach last week! Lol
Sorry bud. In response to your picture, i'm confused as to why the bones are all in pieces? Is it in a field where a farm machine may have broken them?
What cuts? Are we talking cuts, or breaks?
It doesn't look too unusual to me, from what I can see.
