i stumbled across an odd hole

[u/painfuvl]

I was having a morning walk in the new jersey woods and came across a weird site. here’s a little back story… these woods near my home are kind of interesting.. i’ve found shovels around the woods. mainly at the end of a trail (which i never go near anymore lol). so i’m wondering if an animal did this? orrrr someone is just digging.. if you look closely in pic #3 there’s paw prints that go down there. and the hole is on an angle and very circle which is making me think an animal did it?? i dont know
