Title: What animal does this?
Post by: Roverrich on May 12, 2013, 09:51:00 AM
What animal leaves this kind of mark? Saw these signs on my club's 3D course this am, no tracks to or from them. Thanks.

Thanks, no armadillos here in IL LOL!

Thought about some one looking for an arrow, but there were three or four more marks like this along the path, one that was about a foot from the shooting line, even I'm not that bad of a shot HA.

Raccoon sounds pretty reasonable. Thanks guys!

A Northern Longhaired Striped Leaf Brusher/Ground Scratcher maybe?

Not an animal at all but a small scale space craft designed to transport our (lost) arrows to The Gods!

There are armadillos in Southern Illinois now. They are moving north every year.

I didn't know about the armadillos until a US forest service worker told me about them this spring. I've seen road kill armadillos on I70 in Missouri. A friend told me last week, he saw more dead armadillos than coons and possums, on the road while driving through Missouri.

I guess you can hunt them year round until the DNR puts them on the list.

I'm in with the idea that it was a turkey scratching for old acorns.

IT is either a sasquatch or turkeys!! I like the thought of Bigfoot playing around on your 3D course! Shawn

I'm saying Squatch.  Pee in it and see what happens.  If you come back and nothing happened it was probably turkeys, but if it's all ripped apart it's a Squatch for sure.  I'd always heard the peak of the Squatch rut wasn't until July, so it's probably just a young one.
