The little bugger's getting bold. Now he/she/it is eating the daikon but from both underneath and on top. I pulled what I thought was going to be a prize-winner (for my garden, anyway) and there was only an inch and a half of daikon (in there stores they're about 12-14 inches long). Another one was eaten from above ground. Apparently it feels it can now roam the garden with such impunity it doesn't need to burrow to eat. My main concern now is that it will develop an appetite for pine 2x4's and start drilling holes into the house.
The end result of this latest encounter with 'blade runner' is that I had to harvest as much daikon as I could before it was eaten. I can only wish it would find something in the yard that would give it a really bad stomach ache and leave. My worst fears is that I might have to wait until it dies of old age.
