I'm guessing here, but I would put coyotes as number one of those listed. I have seen more 'yotes during turkey season than any other time of the year. They seem to hone in on the gobbles of the birds, and I know several people who have had decoys grabbed by them. I would think racoons and skunks (possums also, though we don't have any up here) would be more of an egg eating situation. Foxes some young birds. Bobcats weren't mentioned. And I have heard great hornned owls often take birds off the roost. I would also think hawks would be a predator of poults, and have heard of a hunter having an eagle take a decoy here in Maine.
