last year I became blessed with a garden resident groundhog in my garden. he ate everything to the ground, I was seriously unhappy.
stuffed a bunch of cat droppings down his burrow; he disappeared.
the groundhog (? - the same - ?) reappeared just recently - I noticed yesterday the burrow was freshly re-excavated.
Hav-a-Heart trap; half an ear of sweet corn; 90 minutes later in broad daylight.... done. veddy irate groundhog in trap; stuffed into corrugated box for 2 mile transport, released.
methinks it was the aroma of the corn -
so now I need to plug up the burrow and make sure it's just one I'm dealing with.....
