Default Groundhogs

Recent success with handful of lettuce and some (old) sliced apple.
Breakfast in bed, like. Set trap out in the PM, and by evening next
day, had an enemy combatant bottled up. Fed handful of "baby" carrots
(storebought, hope I didn't poison the poor beast) then relocated to
an uninhabited area 7-8 miles away.

BTW, this thing had dug itself quite a nest under the picture window
(stray kitten used it for a house first year) and it was digging under
the porch. The day it took out three beautiful Mammoth Red Rock
seedlings was the day the relocation warrant got signed.
