question for y'all

what digs up yellow jackets from the ground. i have a feeder thats been out a couple three weeks and went to check it out yesterday..have 3 pics on the trailcam,and something has torn up the place. there is a hole big round as a quart jar with dirt scattered back from the yellowjackets nest entrance 4 to 5 ft back and 3 foot wide..yellowjackets still using the entrance though and i saw no nest material.. we have our first bear hunt this year(first i know of anyway)so there are potential spots for bear. i've heard coons eat yellowjacket and nest ,but it was mad enough to throw dirt that far ,i don't want to mess with it skunks are arround too.never seen anything like this ,so i'm gonne aim another trailcam at the nest and try to see what it is ..what do ou all think it might be

No idea never seen anything like that

NOt sure but hogs dig like that if you have them in the area

I have no idea what that could be either, i know i wouldnt be digging up a hornets nest

Don't know,But it's a brave sucker what ever it is!!!!

Not sure. Interesting though....maybe you will get some pics of whatever it is.

If the hole is dug only as big around as a quart jar, I doubt it was a bear or a hog. They are not exactly "precision workers". My guess would be badger, but I don't know why in the world anything would want to mess with a yellow jacket nest.

With that hole size that was dug I'm leaning towards a skunk, if the was bigger I would say bear or badger. BH

well.i found ut what was doing the diggin' in the yellowjackets nest,,,,cub bears .. either them or momma climbed the pine tree i have my deer feeder in and knocked the bottom cover of of it.. ate all the pears i had out for the deer and have wallowed out all arround the tree . there are also bear scat all arround ,,big piles and small piles .guess i'll relocate my feeder b4 i get in trouble for feedin' the bears..

Didn't know you had bears in that area. Glad you found out though

Cool, guess you found your spot for bear hunting!

bonehunters is right skunks dig up the underground nests and eat the yellow jackets but they perfer the larva.

Thanks BHChick, My dads yard is full of these holes and I know it's skunks doing it cause I have seen them. BH

no problem bonehunters those skunks are some weird creatures
