Ideas as to the origin

[white eagle]

went to my land today and out in the field I saw this,

anyone have any idea what type of critter works like this? no tracks from what I could tell

[runfiverun]

I'd say you got a wood chuck [marmot] if the hole is bigger than 4"s around.
it's about the time of year the little ones move out.
you should see where it was eating the grass.

looks like 'coon poop but, they don't burrow. maybe he was snackin' on some young rodent?

[timspawn]

Looks like hog rooting to me, but I'm guessing you don't have hogs where you are?

[muddywaters61]

That poop sure looks like pig poop. Hogs root around and dig the tender roots up just like that. look for tracks that are similar to a deer track but more rounded in front. I wood follow the spoor into any wooded area near there and look for mud about knee high on the trees. Don't forget to take a 35 REm with your cast boolits along JIC.

looks like hogs to my untrained eye. They certainly tear a field up like that.

"from the land of sky blue waters" is normally Minnesota but feral pigs are not an issue in MN.

There is a lot of places that DIDN'T have wild hogs a few years ago.

Coyote or bear digging for grubs or moles. I cant blow up the picture enough to get a good look at the scat

[rockrat]

If you were further South, I would say armadillo. Does kind of look like hog

[turtlezx]

skunks dig for grubs like that

[white eagle]

actually Wis. sky blue waters moved to Milwaukee
I would thank you all for the ideas
I thing I am going to take a elevated stand and wait to see what pops out
like to add that this was not the only area like this there are numerous areas
on the field that are like this

[M-Tecs]

actually Wis.

Oh that makes it easy!!!! Just packer fans looking for cheese curds:bigsmyl2:

[funnyjim014]

Looks like skunks to me but I havent seen any piggies up here yet. Seems they stopped inPA

[bhn22]

It's the Hamms bear...

[TXGunNut]

If that was Texas I'd say you had feral hogs. I'd invest in a game camera and see what shows up. I'm betting on porkers. If you're a farmer, my condolences. If you're a hunter; congrats!

[MaryB]

Actually I have heard reports of wild hogs in MN. Southeast corner hill country and some out to my west at the head of the Minnesota and Red Rivers. Scat looks a lot like what that woodchuck left on my deck last year when he was up eating the potted plants...

[Hannibal]

I'd have to say hogs as well. Kill 'em all. Do it quick. Once they know you're onto them it will be 10x harder. And they get smart REAL fast.

Aliens stopping by to take a dump?

[white eagle]

Being the heat of summer
do you suspect them to be most active in the evening?
what ever it is destroying my sod

[mozeppa]

aliens?!:shock:

[SteveS]

I would say grubbing raccoons but it could also be skunks. Skunks are usually a little neater than your picture but raccoons do that kind of damage.

A trail cam would provide the answer.

I didnt see The Swedish Bikini Team in the background

[Hardcast416taylor]

I would say hogs did that, having raised hogs in years past I`ve seen this before.Robert

[guncheese]

if your down by Mywacki then its feral hogs
and that looks like piggy poop to me
one sure way to know is to taste it :veryconfu

May be the Aliens took them! Has to be better then probing some hillbilly.

[Djones]

My first thought was voles. I have seen a lot of fields with vole damage similar to your pictures. Is there any chance the pile of poop could be random or from a predator who was trying to catch a vole?
