:applause: :applause: The only good groundhog is a dead groundhog! Groundhogs seem to have a pretty short lifespan on our farm too.

We have problems with red and gray squirrels here in Connecticut. Tree rats is what I call them.

No guns or hunting needed with the Paw Patrol in place. I just have to occasionally pick up a corpse.

There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

I spend a lot of time keeping the population whittled down, so they stay out of the hay fields.

If you run out I know where there are a few. I don't like to start trapping until I am at the barn every day. I don't kill them owever. If they dig under my barn they have committed suicide. Vern

They get few and far between by the end of the Summer, but I’ve never, ever run out. :wink:
