I have a friend that likes to hunt, is a CRACK shot and I beg him to come and get after the ground hogs. 3 years ago, I got 3 in the yard, female and 2 half grown ones. I was between them and their "normal" escape route...got the female first and then the two younger ones. Best shooting I ever did, would probably never be able to do it again, but I was so mad, they had been mowing off my green beans when they were only 6-8 inches tall and I just happened to be home one afternoon at a time that I usually wasn't...and got very lucky. Those d****things are smart too, they know when there is no one around. I've come home at "not usual" times and seen them flying across the lawn as I barely start up the driveway.
tunnels everywhere through the barn.Yeah the ones here seem to be able to run at 100 MPH. As soon as they see someone, GONE! The only one I don't mind is the one that lives in the huge pile of rocks around the tree at the edge of the property (the part I had to jog around with my new fence). It never seems to cause any trouble. The ones that live close to the barn??
Several moved to the far edge of the property last summer. Quite steep back there, down hill past the property line is the next town. They run down hill. No houses there, the next thing west is the interstate. Who knows if they made a new home or found themselves "Naked and Afraid" and dead but I know they didn't come back.
sure Glad there are many more things still here on Earth that we can Choose from...when Everything else is long Gone...I might give it a Try...or become Veagan........but Only then!!
And a lot of poisonous snake species!Hmmm........ northeast Texas...... NO prairie dogs, NO ground hogs, NO woodchucks, NO chipmunks, NO ground squirrels......but we DO have fire ants!!
