I know this may not be the correct forum, but I know we have some real pond experts out there and I am really scratching my head over this one.
I have started harvesting some of my catfish (just with rod and reel the last few weeks). They are all pretty large 20 -24 inches in length. I take them over filet them then toss the skeltons back in the pond. I thow them as far
as I can to the center. I have a one acre pond with a levee around it.
Last week I went back to the pond and the 3 skeltons that I tossed were on the the top of the levee a good foot and a half above the water line.
They were picked clean and in different locations. All skeltons were intact just as I tossed them in except no meat. I have few turtles but there is no way a turtle could drag them up the levee and no reason to do it.
I do not see any signs of a otter or any other critter.
The only animals I have ever spotted around the pond are different speices of long legged water birds.
I am guessing it must be the birds or a pond monster ?
Any guesses ?
