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 moles , I saw one this afternoon under the bird feeder . He/it
darted out , grabbed something and darted back into his hole .
