What's digging up my grounds?

I have plenty of rabbit, deer, and turkey about but this does not seem to be any of those. Could it be wild hogs moving in?

I don't know what part of the country you are in but I would guess armadillo.

Where are you located? To me it looks like armadillo.

I am located in North Alabama and we do have them for sure.

Thank you guys!

My guess it that the other posters are correct in saying Armidillo. It does not look like near enough damage to be hogs. Hogs can root up very large areas very quickly and easily.

I don't know about armadillo's but up here holes like that are often made by skunks.

They look exactly like the holes in my yard. The pressed cone shape of the hole matches the nose of the armadillo as he mashes his snout into his freshly dug hole looking for grubs.

Armadillo (aka possum on a half-shell) for sure. They're probably digging for some tasty grubworms. Around here, when the weather gets dry and the ground gets hard, the 'dillos come into well irrigated lawns and dig those craters everywhere.

Agree with the group, Hogs would look like someone just bought a backhoe attachment and wanted some "seat time".
