Maybe it is those Maine monkeys.
Got a bumper crop of pecans this year. I have about 50 trees. Squirrels and crows are getting their share, deer are eating some, but. . .
I have been picking up the big Stewarts because they are my favorites. Have about 50 gallons so far with many more yet to fall. I have been storing them in a big, covered tub on my front porch. The tub is full, so for the past few days I have been leaving that days harvest in a 5 gallon bucket on the porch.
A couple of days ago I left a nearly full bucket on the porch and went to do other chores. When I went out the next day the bucket was almost empty. I guessed one of my neighbors had taken them. I have invited them all to come pick up what they want, so it didn't bug me (much).
Left another 5 gallons on the porch yesterday. Took a handfull of them to eat last night. The bucket was still full. This morning the bucket is almost empty again.
RATZAKRATZA!!
No clues. No footprints or car tracks; no debris. Mice couldn't get into the bucket, then out again.
Any ideas?
