Bad news - DW spotted a small woodchuck. I did too, yesterday morning. Don't know if there is one or two. She saw "her's" just south of the little barn and it took of into the bushes there. I saw "mine" over near the pile of wood in front of the barn. I set up the Havahart blocked open last night with some chicken food inside to catch "mine" hopefully tonight. I had to take Samantha to the vet at 9 and wouldn't have had time to deal with a trapped hog. Food untouched this morning, not a good sign. It is set to trap tonight with some chicken food and some scratch.

Hope ya get it before it does damage and presents ya with woodchuck "math".....:)
Me too. After moving about 8 last year I was hoping for at least one year off. But if these stick around I'm sure they will breed. Plus I really don't want to find more tunnels. Bout dropped a foot in one in the little barn a couple of weeks ago moving gardening stuff around. Luckily only the front of my foot was over it when it collapsed.
