Still Some Woodchucks Around

One less woodchuck around.

Back when family farms were common throughout the state Woodchuck sightings would be an every day occurrence, it is very rare for me to see one around here these days.

A few weeks ago I took a trip to Brattleboro Vermont to pick up some Soay Sheep, the grassy edges along major highways always seem to be a good place to spot a few Chucks. On that 200 mile trip both going and coming home I did not see one single Woodchuck, sad.

I still have "Chuckles" living under one of my sheds, he gets a free pass from me, he comes out and eats clover on my lawn, so far he has avoided being caught and killed by my Airedale but he has had a couple of close calls. I give him a heads up before I let the dogs out by knocking on a window, he will immediately head for his hole when he hears it.

I'm still seeing quite a few chucks all around Delaware County.  Not as many as in years past, but still plenty more than the farmers would like around.

My dad shot another one. He's probably got a handful this summer. Many are juveniles that are dispersing and digging up lawn and under structures around the barn yard.
