Dirt hole?

[rachunter]

Do fox or other animals make dirt holes or is it something trappers started doing. I thought I found one today but it was to deep.

I know foxes and a few other animals will use a hole. I think most often a fox will use an existing hole ,one dug by a woodchuck for example ,and enlarge it..

Trappers making dirt hole sets are replicating what a fox/ coyote will do to “stash” a small morsel and then mark their territory.

turkeyfeathers is spot on. Could be a chipmunk burrow.
