What made this hole?
« on: April 15, 2020, 06:28:58 PM »
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.
