    Anyone know who could have dug this?

    Thanks for the quick response. The hole is about 6 feet from the run. I don't think it was tunneling because I don't see any other holes. I will be putting out a trap tonight to see if I get anything. I don't want skunk spray all over the place (yuck) lol.
