Title: what did this?
Post by: jackelope on May 26, 2008, 10:05:51 PM: i think i know what did this but not positive so tell me what you guys think. this was in the blues in the school fire burn area...thats where the charcoal came from. i didn't really have anything to put the size of the holes in perspective, so they are about a foot across.

Post by: jackelope on May 27, 2008, 09:01:03 PM: i was sure this was a badger, but i will assume you guys are right in the root burnout idea. that thought never crossed my mind, as maybe you can tell when i posted this in the varmint forum.
