    Who dug these holes in my pasture?

    Have recently noticed a "crop" of newly dug holes scattered throughout one particular pasture at our ranch. (See attached pics)

    Someone suggested these might be badger dens and they show most of the hallmarks for such: dug during birthing season, large mound in front of hole, scratch marks on the side "walls" of the hole (usually left side only??), deep and cavernous, etc. However, most images of badger holes that I find online mimic the shape of a badger's body; i.e., broad and wide. The holes I'm finding have a distinct verticality to them that has me perplexed.

    Any thoughts?

                  Get some string and bacon. Could be a big crawfish.

                    I see a new noodling technique that has "viral' possibilities on youtube.

                      Within the last year I was told that one that looked identical to that was from a mother Coyote. That is what they do when they have little ones? No idea, just what I was recently told.

                        I have a hole very similar to that on my property. It is in the middle of a 25 acre open field. Curious as well.

                          Looks like coyote.
