I just love this picture, he is waving goodbye. OK, so I taken some liberties, my groundhog wasn't really waving at me. I should say that he was very unhappy with me.
It has been a big, no biggest challenge I have had to deal with in the garden in quite a few years.
Now the heat is one thing but this groundhog. Well, you know he is very good at what he does.
EAT AND EAT A LOT
I put my live trap in the garden in a couple of different spots, no luck. Then I put it by his hole, no luck.
Then I took the hose, stuck it down his hole and thought I would flood him out. I must of ran that water for 40 minutes and it never overflowed. Heaven knows how deep that hole went. So I tried the trap one more time in the garden.
Well I am so happy to say that he will not be eating out of my garden no more. It took some persistence on my part but it paid off.
But I need to let you know that each time I set the trap I did get something, just not the groundhog. I had trapped 3 of the coons we had killing my chickens, They were relocated to somewhere near the river
They are so cute, but can be very mean. I know I would not want to go one on one with it.
Beside the coons, I also had one of my chickens get caught in the live trap.
I was so happy when I found the groundhog. Did not have my camera with me so I have no picture
I so happy to say, he's been relocated to a good place.
( I must be happy, I wrote it 3x's)
Till next time

I hope you took him on a very long ride where he won't torment anyone else. I applaud your persistence. We gave up gardening after a season of fighting bunnies and a groundhog. Farmer's Market is so much easier!
ReplyDeleteHurrah!! To paraphrase The Wizard of Oz..."ding dong the groundhog is....relocated..."

I'm glad you took the time to relocate the critters. I cannot say I would have been so kind.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I did trap a skunk once, but that's a long story...
