| There are a lot of existing threads about groundhogs on GW (see especially below). They can be _very_ difficult to deal with. The two encounters I have had with them required lethal means (air rifle), because the adults are clever, tenacious, and very hard to trap. But they are also slow; if you catch them out in the open during their feeding time, you can actually outrun them... and your odds may be better with a strong fishnet than with a trap. At the very least, if you cut it off from its main burrow, you could force it into a bolt hole, which is much shallower (so bombs might work there). Just watch out for those teeth. If their burrows are on an adjoining property, you have my sympathies. |
