Woodchuck?

[rachunter]

When I got up to my house this morning doing my normal inspection I found a hole in the ground and one going under my house what ever it is cleaned out the mouse bait boxes? Could it be the woodchuck I keep see in the back ? Anyone ever have this happen before?

Looks like wood chuck work. A 22 will solve the problem nicely.

I don't think the poison kills anything but mice and rats. He's back there now. Tomorrow it's war!!!

Kill the sumbitch.....He'll be nothing but trouble...I have been dealing with them  undermining my utility shed for a year...Good luck !!

I have a bunch of fun throughout the summer shooting woodchucks but having 1 or 2 around the house can be a huge pain in the butt and they tend not to be very easy to kill. They have an uncanny ability to show up when you don't have a gun or a clear shot. I have drank a lot of beer waiting for the woodchuck to poke his head out in my back yard.

One of these staked down at the hole entrance will get it coming or going

#110 Victor Single Spring Conibear Trap

A #110 is rather small for a chuck. Although regs limit anything much bigger set on land.

You can also catch them in a box trap baited with bananas.

Melon works quite well in a Have a Heart trap ........

Use a 160 coni...pretty sure biggest can use without land regs

Happy Father's Day Mr. Woodchuck.  Hope you like your CCI Stinger

Eh, he'd only look like a woodchuck .......but with a hole in him.  

Fill in his holes now to know you've eliminated the threat.

My neighbor put a have a heart trap out and has caught 9 woodchucks so far .

Anybody here know why dogs hate woodchucks?? My black lab Ben killed one and my sisters golden retriever-Cody also killed one. Now walking Abbey last week- a 45ilb lab- she raced to a woodchuck and got in a quick cutting type of a bite. The woodchuck jumped at her with mouth open- but missed the bite. These 3 dogs would never hurt a fly. What gives???

That is what dogs DO, Bill.....I have had dogs all my life..Had several  that would never be aggressive toward a human or another domestic animal, but you put a woodchuck or a coon or a squirrel in front of them and  were savage beasts... I think what it boils down to is that dogs are predators and they instinctively know what animals are PREY animals, so they react aggressively toward them.
