I live in San Marcos. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

I loved WA but bad memories. Most of my family is here.

This is the second hole dug. I filled the first one with water also, in hopes of drowning whatever it was out. I will keep you'll posted....

The hole is so deep. 3-4' and too small for the possum or the raccoon... 3" in diameter. I put a water hose in it this morning. It went almost 4' deep and I turned it on and filled it with water.

I am thinking it could be a chicken snake....but who knows. I haven't seen it. I filled the hole up with water this morning. It was a fresh dig from last night.

It could be a rat. My chickens would kill & devour it if it came out during the day.

I don't think we have weasels. Never saw one.
