I live in dutchess county new york. Over the past 5 years i've taken down about 6 trees on my property. Left all the tree stumps (cut very low) and would let them rot over time etc. I had really wanted them gone but just never got around to renting a stump grinder.
The other day i woke up and all the stumps were gone. They were all dug out and chunks of wood strewn about the lawn, like someone purposefully dug and removed them. Obviously nobody was in my yard doing tree stump removal overnight for free...
Any ideas what animal would have wanted to eat my tree stumps? We generally do not have bears (although one was seen many years ago and it made the paper) , and my entire backyard is fenced in with picket fence and the gates shut at night. no damage to fence at all.
It was really easy to just pick up some fill dirt, tamp it down, level it and no more stumps. That much wood was gone/shredded/ripped apart.
This is the most bizarre thing. My dog never even barked and hes extremely sensitive to goings on outside.
