Thoughts on fox kill

[JohnL48]

Any thoughts ? Tail looks too long for a cat

Big fox squirrel in its mouth I would say. Maybe in the melanistic phase as well

If it's a squirrel, I'd say a small fox or a big squirrel. I think it may be some other critter in its mouth.

what about a fisher cat ?

A fisher cat would have the fox in it's mouth.

Squirrel.

Big squirrel and a summer coat fox


Edit: changed my mind I am now saying a small skunk

That gotta be one hungry critter to eat skunk.

I never saw a squirrel of any sub species with a hind end of that size.
A skunk has shorter legs and way bushier all around. If it weren't for the long bushy tail I'd say it's a small black dog.
Considering the stockiness and the bushy tail I'm voting that it's a small fisher cat.
