[QUOTE="Dirty, post: 296476, member: 6535"] The one thing I missed in Yoby’s post is where he said his dog was the one doing the above ground damage. Yoby, are sure of that? if that is the case and all of the “tunneling” etc. was underground then it wouldn’t be a coon or skunk. Their damage looks like what you have in your picture, with sod and dirt ripped up and turned or flipped over. Prior to your dog getting after it, were their above ground mounds of dirt to go along with the underground runs? Pocket gophers, in addition to tunnels that go several feet underground, also do make shallow feeding runs right under the ground. They are at root level of whatever they are eating. In our clover plots, they will be anywhere from An inch or two to six or more inches under the ground depending on root depth. Also, on hill sides and changing alleviation the tunnels vary in depth. In our plots, deer and people step right through the surface into the runs all the time. It adds to the mess. [/QUOTE]
