Wild Dogs Killing Calves

[Wolfgang1952]

My cousin had a calf get eaten / killed last months. Whatever killed it ate it. We’ve set up a few snares to see what is going on. The other day we caught a wild dog, he stuck its head where it shouldn’t have. My cousin found it in one of the snares, dead, period. He drug off down one of the trails going to the back field. Yesterday he went down that same trail to the back field to cut hay. He noticed that that dead dog was gone. No mess, no sign, nothing like it was never there. Trying to figure out what hauled it off?   Wherediditgo?

We have an increasing jaguar population over here.  I wonder if they are working their way across over to swamp land.

Best guess a big cat, or maybe a pack of wild dogs. They do cannibalise their own, just like wolves do. Just looked at your location, any swamp around...? Alligators?

No tracks, no drag marks.   NOTHING   that is what gets me.   We do have cats large and small in the area, none at this time of year, to early.   No alligators, to fore away from the river.   Could be a Bear, but haven’t heard of any in the area for years.   It is like it just up and diapered.

We had problems with wild dogs eating calves here in SoCal too. Out buddy was losing a handful every year.  Finally got most of em eradicated. Set up some game cameras next time you lay one out.
