    Mine either my older brother and I were burning brush piles at night, my brother was using an orchard sprayer with gas in it to get the piles going. I was wearing a snowmobile suite with gloves and a tuke on my head. My brother said Tim want to be a stuntman, before I knew it he sprayed my back with gas and a line of gas to the fire, poof. I dropped and rolled like crazy. It burned the outer poly layer and melted the insulation. I was lucky to escape uninjured. At least I did not piss my pants like I did when I got hit by the car.

    Maybe you have Badgers? Badgers in my neck of the woods live in holes like that.

    I know that Badgers eat gophers and other small rodents but may eat a fawn as an opportunity. Maybe claiming the kill from some other critter.

    That’s 2.5 hours from me. I’ll bet he’s been super busy, there was a lightning storm that came through about two weeks ago that set half the state on fire. (Exaggeration, but it set a ton of fires in the surrounding region).
    The Snake River Complex fire is a half hour from me, and is not all that far away from my Craig Mountain property where I spend most of my free time. Pretty nervous right now.

    No badgers, I'm not sure NYS has them ? Though we do have Fisher and bobcat. Though I'm not sure either would construct a den like that ...3 doors as it were.

    My son told me to check out Tyler Childers an alt country artist, sounds like a god damn square dance, made me think of the Bugs Bunny cartoon Hillbilly Hare.

    Shotguns at close range is your best bet. Might need two.

    I tried that on a groundhog behind a friends house several years back. Was a burrow on the side of an old raised train rail that has been years removed. Tossed 3 long burn smokers in it and sat back at the fence, 10yds back, with a pellet gun. Never came out and I never seen smoke coming from a secondary tunnel. Was close to sunset so I guess it could have been empty at the time, but thought for sure there would be multiple entries/exits.

    Phillips and standard slot screws. Can we just move on from these archaic designs? Square and torx are far superior!

    They should all be out and hunting now.

    I'm guessing a badger.

    She lives in an area with hills and glacial till not good badger territory. Best to smoke it out and kill it to see what it is.
