What animal does this?
« 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!

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.
