I got 'em . In my gardens , in the woods , under the house , and other
places . I'm not sure what they are , whether ground squirrels , moles , or
gophers . I do know my dog (mountain cur) loves to try to catch them ,
digging up their tunnels and shoving his nose in them sniffing . These
tunnels are about 2"-4" below the surface and leave a hump - where there are
a lot of them close together the ground is soft . How do I figure out what
they are ?

i vote moles. chipmunks and voles don't tend
to push things up as much IME. mice usually use
other things. gophers are bigger aren't they?

they're good for keeping the ground able to
soak up rains and provide a lot of habitat for
other critters. i wish i could convince Ma to
leave them alone, but she freaks out any time
there is one around. they have supersoft fur.
