VERY strange. Because I am having the exact same problem. Central AL.
Also, had an armadillo or something digging a BIG hole under my front porch. Coincidence? |

Squirrels. +1 Look for small nuts in the holes. If you find them, your trouble is squirrels. |

You need one of those tools that release propane into the tunnels and then ignites it.

Raccoons digging for grubs at night.
Get rid of the grubs and you get rid of the coons. Get a sack of grub killer and spread it on the lawn––try to do it shortly before a rain. |

Crawdads will make holes about that size.....but that doesn't explain the steaming turd left there...
|
|
Raccoons... They dig for grubs in the dirt at night.
Get some coyote piss or .22 LR. |

Be careful using granular grub killer, I killed a shitload of birds using it a few years ago. I didn't water it in good enough and apparently the birds thought it was tasty. My wife wasn't the least bit pleased over that stunt. |

Chupacabra. Definitely chupacabra. I knew a guy in Dallas that got those in his yard- three weeks later he was dead. |

Pour alittle dawn dishwashing soap down a few of the holes and spray the area with a garden hose to confirm if this is mole crickets they'll crawl out of the holes very quickly.We had the same thing happen in our yard we had a shit load of grubs come out of the ground in the morning after treating the lawn with ortho and i believe an armadillo was digging them up still after we had treated the lawn with an Ortho lawn product.

Quoted: Damn shame something tearing up all those weeds like that. hey, they're green(ish) ain't they? |

Looks like coon shit to me. They will fuck up a yard.
Sure you don't have a bunch of moles? |

Quoted: If you had moles, there would be runs , and not just holes. Your feet would sink in them as you walked around the yard. It's hard to tell, from the picture because the grass is pretty high.

I think it might be crawdads/mugbugs.
Are there little mounds of mud near the holes? Some hornets make holes in the ground - but I think you would know about that. I highly doubt regular squirrels. Ground squirrels usually make their holes hidden - not in the open. eta - I thought that poop was mud... might be moles then. |
|
from your description, it sounds like skunks, or raccoons. Both leave holes in ground like in pics while digging for worms, grubs, crickets, beetles, etc....
Either way, you are going to have to set up a night ambush. |

Its a mole, the make tunnels just under the surface, the holes you see are from the tunnels collapsing.
I've got the same thing, they are driving me crazy! |

What is this lawn you speak of? I see in your pics a good start on a pasture.

I dunno, but whatever it is it's leaving P99's laying all over the place, I'd let it carry on!

We had some skunks tearing up our lawn like that, once.
Antelope will do a number on it, too, the bastards. |
|
I have the same thing, it's skunks digging for grubs.
Can't really shoot them even though I have a suppressor, I don't have a 100% clear backstop. Don't want to trap them because I don't want to catch one. They ebb and flow with the owl population. -JTP ETA FUCK Post 4000, at least it wasn't a total waste like some stupid meme reply. |
