If you got badgers there, they dig big holes. Might still be in the hole if you can't see the end.

Keep the dog in, and lay one of these across the hole, whatever is inside, it will kill!

Hose exhaust from a vehicle in there and stand by with a shotgun.

sounds like a badger to me, they have made a couple of craters in my road before. i fill the hole back in and drive on it to tamp it down and they usually get the message and go dig somewhere else. badgers eat other less desirable critters like mice,rats and ground squirrels so i let em be, and let them do there job.

Dump a couple of gallons of ammonia in the hole. They can't take the smell and it's soaked in the ground around them

I'd vote for Mr. Badger. Woodchucks dig holes closer to 6", usually in a field, bank, or under some brush.

I'm leaning with a few of the others who suggest a badger did that. It could still be around, or possibly in the hole. Or it could be long gone by now. They can dig like crazy. Might of been digging for a mouse or something. Probly dug untill it either got it or convinced itself that it got away. If they don't get anything, they ussually dig a heck of a hole before they give up. Be carefull not to encounter that badger, you want no part of it, and just fill the hole back in. It is likely gone but be cautious.

I looked at your link.....I bought mine here by the dozen, but the single price is also much cheaper. Nice helpful folks too.

If you lived in the South I would say armadillo. Don't know what kind of varmints you have up there.

I'd head down to the local farm supply for the biggest woodchuck smoke bomb they have. Light it, drop it down the hole, and cover it up.

It may be illegal to trap, or shoot, a Badger, in
Wisconsin ! (they are protected in Madison)
