groundhog problems

The back of our property is up against an edge habitat of trees, where the ground goes up for about 15 feet at perhaps a 45 degree angle. Behind the trees is perhaps a 10 acre open grassy area - part of a local park. However, this groundhog took up residence under my shed, just like the several at my parents' place did under their old barn. With all that space it should be pretty easy to lure Woody to live elsewhere... pile up a truckload of large rocks and build a brush pile atop, lay in a couple three bales of hay and make a trail of inexpensive critter food (dry dog kibbles, bird seed, chicken feed, etc.) leading to your newly constructed woodchuck habitat. I had a woodchuck residing under a corner of my barn until I provided a much better home a couple hundred feet away. Woody used to live under my barn: http://i36.tinypic.com/34nqe0x.jpg There's Woody by his new home in front of the brush pile, closer to water too: http://i38.tinypic.com/25z6rh5.jpg There's no reason to harm wildlife, they need to live too, and they were there first. I think those who want to live rural but insist on living in a test tube sterile environment are morbidly ill... the same sickos who as hate-filled children enjoyed pulling the wings off butterflys. http://i36.tinypic.com/id84yq.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/wswvp1.jpg |
