5 or 6 times over the last year I have found decapitated or otherwise "dissassembled" mice or small rats near or under my car. Lots of squirrels, chipmunks, deer, rabbits. Oh and a turkey one time. I moved into this house about a year ago. We do have a possum and a raccoon that live somewhere on the property.
