Author Topic: What made this hole? (Read 6803 times)

This post is for my in-laws on the east side. They have a place on the Columbia and found this burrow maybe 15 yards up the bank from the river. The hole is roughly the width of a shovel.

What’s your best guess? I have an idea but am betting many here know more.

Agreed with the badger comments. Had one dig a den on my property some years ago, always wondered what it was and then saw the badger run up the hill and dive in.

Pretty round for a badger hole. Probably a giant sand owl.

Just a few weeks ago I saw a fox coming in and out of a hole similar to the one posted. It was in a railroad embankment near the Ice Harbor dam.

Badger.
Brings back a fond memory. As kids we found a badger den and the plan was to drown him out and then the guy not pouring water would shoot him when he ran for cover.

We must of poured a couple hundred gallons of water down his hole...…..all it did was piss him off (you could hear him growling) but he never came out.

Awesome, I'll tell him to try to flood it out.

You still need to reach down there and see whats up. "Noodlin."

jackelope · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2020, 09:05:00 PM »

Only one way to find out. The catfish noodler folks do it all the time. Could be a gator or a snapper in one of those holes and they ain’t scared.

Smoke it out!
