    Fox?
    Too bad there's nothing else in the pic to scale it by, unless the time/date stamp was "scalable".......
    Just be careful around it(if you stumble on its location) as the temps warm up.

    I think it's off of a secondary trail we use to ride every so often, if I'm correct it's in the area where I grabbed a downed Cherry.

    If I get time tomorrow, I'll check it out.

    The limbs around the Den hole look a little punked so I guess you'll leave them alone?

    We've had a Fox in the backyard (woods) chasing some food this year, it's the first time in three years the Fox has been around.

    Hope you can find the location again. Could you pull back on a current shot then, so we can see what kind of tailings this mining little critter deposited in the creation of this Den? Please, Sir?:yes::)

    Sure will, if I'm correct on the location, it should be on a southwest facing hill.

    Definitely Fox or wild boar. Whichever is normally in your area.

    Coyote could get in and out of that hole, but I think their's are larger than that one.

    They can surely surprise you though. I recall not that long ago we had a den behind the house. I did not think any chance of being coyote, but lo and behold, it was coyote going in and out and then out come a bunch of little coyotes too! Amazing how small that hole was.
