You need to build a bulb cage out of poultry wire to plant your bulbs in. The voles, moles, mice are eating your bulbs. Also kill the grubs....

The cage will allow the flowers to grow up and out, but many of the critters will not be able to get to them. You may want to make the bottom part of out hardware cloth/wire and the top out of poultry wire for added protection.

Elk, black bears and prairie dogs will eat the bulbs too...among other pests.
