Don't have any kids here, and if any of the groundhogs are stupid enough to attack my dogs, they deserve to be eliminated from the gene pool. Suja |

Mmmmm!
Woodchuck chili sounds mighty tasty! Do you have a recipe? Can you substitute rabbit for woodchuck? "Mike Davis" wrote in message news:pr13c.33608$UU.15729@lakeread01... 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. Regards, Mike D. |
