I Agree. It could be badgers or coyotes digging for rodents.   :twocents:

My guess is a badger.

The way to tell is look closely at the hole.  A badger will have claw marks all the way around it, top, sides.......everything.  Post a pic?

my guess is mountain beaver, yeah thats right mountain beaver, its basically a large rat that digs burrows in the sides of hills, my first dog drug one home once, we didnt know what it was until our mountain man neighbor told us.

after further reading of above article the mountain beaver is also known as a marmot, after even further reading, the two are often confused and are two separate species...
