Any ideas if this is a badger den?
-
So, I learned that Kansas has badgers and I was wondering if anyone knew what a badger den looked like? Dogs did NOT want to leave this area and Brutus was acting like a he was.nervous and Wiggins was being unusually aggressive while we were near it. Can’t think of any other small den animals that would have them acting like that? Probably just bunnies and I have weird.dogs.
Jonathon it could be one of many critters already mentioned in this post, including a ground hog. Sounds like a job for a trail camera. Let us know when you find out.

what about a rabbit or a gopher ?

Sasquatch!

Best way to find out is to stick you arm in there, wiggle your fingers and wait for the bite. Once it’s latched on, pull your arm out and see what it is.

Yeah, they were acting really odd around it but Riggins will go ballistic if he sees any wild animal, this time he was aggressive though and Brutus, despite pushing 200 lb is a coward and his tail was tucked between his legs. Not big enough for a coyote den really and the only other burrowing predator I know of around here is a bagder. Maybe it was a skunk but I didn’t smell anything. Thanks guys, I will put on a pair of hexarmour NXT gloves and go noodling!
Jonathon I think either a badger or an armadillo. The dens look very similar. Drive a t post and put up a trail camera then we’ll all know.

Jonathon I have never been in the States, but I seen on film some and was wondering, could it be a
Prairie dog? -
magician176 Could be but Ive never seen them around where I live. I do see armadillos though so that is probably what it is. Well, I see them dead on the side of the road, still havent seen one alive around here.

Prairie dogs are community open grassland animals, there would probably be more holes

Jonathon I can send some armadillos your way. We have plenty here in Southern Oklahoma.

Prairie dog holes have dirt around hole going nearly straight down first couple of feet and there will be more than just one
