Anyway, I've learned more now about badgers from various TPW online sources than I ever cared to know, I just need to find out who made these holes. Think I'll take the advice of another on this post who recommended mounting a game cam on a steak and observing.

We have badgers on our place and have been seeing this type of hole since the badgers showed up. The hole is perhaps eight to ten inches wide and slopes down at perhaps a forty-five degree angle. I have several spots with these holes around the place. Often there will be about eight to twelve holes in a forty or fifty foot area. We also have ground squirrels on the east side of the place. Their holes do not slope the same and are not as large. I had a game cam set up on a cluster of holes just east of the house. I didn't get any pictures in a week so pulled the camera. It is easy to tell if the holes are being used as the unused ones will have twigs and grass blown in that is visible. The active holes are kept clean and often have damp earth just inside the hole or on the surface outside the hole.

Probably coyote, they should have pups that are just about ready to leave the den on their own.
I have found one coyote den years ago, I put up a camera on it and got some very interesting pictures. Took many years to find the den, but I finally found it. I was surprised how many adult coyotes, were hanging around the den, that spring. Never actually got pictures of the pups. There would be four to five adults around the entrance, the times, they triggered the camera. That den had two or three entrances, within a ten ft. area.
