Sometimes the geese themselves practically point out a solution for you. This is the second year in a row that geese have nested on top of the backstop on my rifle range. Something killed and ate most of one of them a couple of weeks ago, then got the eggs a day later.

Here is last year's "Death Wish" goose:
