Although I am no fan of Groundhogs, I've got to say that they've never
actually hurt anything. They're happy to nosh on the lawn (clover or
other weeds, I guess) and haven't touched anything I've planted. The
deer, OTOH....

If a child wanders between a groundhog and its den, the groundhog will
attack the child to get to its hole. I know, one attacked me. You would
never guess how vicious they turn when they think they are cornered.

I was actually bitten by a groundhog. Fortunately his teeth did not
penetrate my boot. I was trying to help him get away by pulling out the
arrow I used to pin him to the ground
