My guess is it started out as a groundhog hole. Other critters will take advantage of them.Is there any way to tell them apart? I've got a fresh hole behind my house (to go with the 10 others back there) and always wondered which was which.
yeah I could put another one out (or move one). I was just curious if there was a way to tell in my adventures outside of my trail camera range.A cheap trail cam is always a useful - and often very entertaining - tool. A friend actually spotted a case of a den (who know what sort of architecture underground) entrance being shared by a family of foxes and a tribe of raccoons.
There is a groundhog hole two yards over from mine. I've seen 'hogs in and out of there multiple times over the years. Last year it was home to a litter of fox pups (one of at least two large litters of pups in the immediate area).My guess is it started out as a groundhog hole. Other critters will take advantage of them.
Agreed.My guess is it started out as a groundhog hole. Other critters will take advantage of them.
Groundhogs can appear at any time of year and someone here just posted about seeing one.Groundhogs hibernate until late Feb early March. Probably a fox denning there (possibly tying into existing groundhog hole system).
The same question occurred to me. Who need Roofies when you have hibernation?Does he bother to wake her or just hit it and quit it
I saw one two days ago. I guess temperature has more to do with than the actual date.A camera would give certainty. One would think that ground hogs would be hibernating now.
I have seen what looks like a groundhog hole , but has a bigger mound and size of hole. I always have assumed that a fox remodeled an existing groundhog hole.Is there any way to tell them apart?
