New den, good chance it worked. They can't build the complete den with the back-up hole overnight. I've soaked a good size rag with gasoline and closed the hole up, worked 3 out of 3 times on new dens.
These critters are a lot smarter then most would think, and they have a pretty decent will to survive from what I have seen of them.
Established dens, you have to find all the holes, some have more then one back up exit and they can rotate to other dens from what I have observed.
