So I had three of these large holes in one of my pastures, two of them were 40yds apart and the third 50+ away from either of them. I filled them all in a week ago and have checked them a few times since and they were untouched. Our horse trainer was here this morning so I was walking the pasture and found that this one was opened up again, no sign that I'd ever filled it in. The holes are approximately 8" in diameter and at least two of them took a lot more dirt to fill than I expected. I want to say groundhog but I'm not sure. The odd thing is that all three of these are in low spots of the pasture which dry up last and hold water first when we have heavy rains.
Groundhog? If so what happened to all of the dirt I used to fill the hole in? There are no mounds of dirt around the holes at all, just a hole. I'm kind of baffled, if it's a critter I'll be spending the next warm evening sitting on the fence with a thermal scope waiting to eliminate it.
