Family of woodchucks discovered - popped one and then . . . poof! The corpse disappeared (?)

Hey there guys . . . readers digest - I got a call from a neighbor re: chuckie having setup residence underneath his workshop. Sure enough s/he's a biggun'! I wasn't able to get it (him/her) on that particular day - never re-appeared. I went back there today though and "whoa . . . . there's a small clan of 'em living under there! I saw at least four (three small'ish ones, and "the big one" - don't know if that's big mamma or big daddy ). Cutting to the chase - I managed to pop one, thought it was "the big one" when it popped its head around the far back corner of the shed. When I went to retrieve the corpse though - it wasn't so big after all. Wasn't a "baby" - not that small but wasn't the biggest one I've ever nailed before either. Anyway - I picked it up and placed it out in a grassy area not to far away from the shed figuring predators (hawks, turkey buzzards, eagles, crows, etc ... ) would get it. An hour or so later I went back out there to show to property owner and the corpse was gone. ( huh?? )

Are chuckie's known to drag dead brothers, sisters, etc ... back into a hole? ( turns out this shed has multiple holes . . . ) Chuckie's are principally vegetarians but, according to mr google, they are apparently known to be the occasional meat eaters too. I've never seen a chuckie corpse pull a Houdini like this one - just curious what you guys might think.

Oh -- .25 cal RTI P1 Performance w/the RPB barrel in it, 32g Patriot slug @953 fps if anyone curious.

It is my understanding that rodents on occasion can be cannibalistic!
I once popped a squirrel, went somewhere, came back a bit later and there was another squirrel eating the first one. I didn't want to be rude and interrupt his dinner so I waited until he was finished before popping him too.
