What made this lawn damage?

I have similar from squirrels. Two months ago you would find an acorn at the bottom, now they are empty..............

We have a good supply of armadillos that frequently duplicate such arrangements.

I should have said S.Virginia, so no armadillo or bandicoots. They're not holes all the way through, just depressions.

If the ground is soft, a drunk woman in very high heels?

I mean if we are just taking pop shots in the dark, then it could be a Wompas Cat..

My guess is armadillos

That was my first thought too. Especially since there were so many of them. Vols tend to "tunnel" their way around the yard. Not sure about skunks.

I wouldn't arbitrarily rule them out. I live in the northern part of SC, and we have plenty of them. And they are working their way north !

We have the same dug up chunks of turf - saw opossums at dusk recently in the act. They have a rounded nose like one of the holes you have, and they love grubs.

Bandicoots?

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned turkeys. That was my first thought. Have had them around here now and then. But their holes are not quite that deep.
