The mound is an indication that it is connected to a deep tunnel that he has spent a lot of calories on and he hates digging he just doesn't have any other job offers . If you hve fresh sign around the mound he'll be back and it's a good place to end his work. Sleep'n with an animal..I can help. Do not use both feet when testing the depth or temperature of the water Your Friend, Paul Brooker

This saves me carving up another hole in the grass if you find the tunnel this way. Rarely will I find the main tunnel more then twelve inches away from the mound, they will not waste their energy pushing dirt a long ways.
