Any experience with driving away groundhogs (aka woodchucks, whistlepigs,
etc.) from the garden area. I'm moving into a house where the former
garden
tract has become home for a fat and feisty furball.

My previous experience has been to live trap the little monsters and
toddle
a few miles down the road to unfarmed areas and release em. If there's
another way to get rid of them (the wife is definitely not in favor of my
initial suggestion of woodchuck chili), I'd appreciate your guidance.

Lots of suggestions: German Shepherds, Labradors, Rotweilers, Dobermans,
Spaniels, Pit Bulls, or any Heinz 57 over 50 lb that isn't too old, fat or
spoiled will do fine. No encouragement needed.
