My house has been here for 220 years. So it's not like we just
recently invaded nature.
Hell the squirrels probably came over from Europe later than my house
was built ;)

It may be squirrels burying their nuts for the upcoming winter season.
Contrary to what some believe, squirrels do not have secret nut mines from
which they replenish their larder. If so, you can throw together some "Nut
Huts." They look like bird houses except much deeper into which Sammy the
Squirrel can lay away provisions to tide him and his furry family over the
lean months ahead.
As for being "way to urban to use guns," I take it you're not in Chicago
(where guns are banned).

My son told me about the same issue in his yard last evening - he has
lived in the same home about 7 years and has never seen the number of
holes all over the yard before. Perhaps squirrels know there will be a
more severe winter, or something. The holes aren't deep, and are filled
in, so I suppose the worst likely result is a lot of new oak trees.
Mower will take care of them. Said he has seen deer with huge racks, as
well - usually only see does and fawns in his yard. Small town, not
city - lakes and woods nearby. Good pike and bass fishing :o)
