The groundhogs have been at our garden and the neighbor’s gardens quite a bit this spring, so I finally got around to setting up the trap this weekend. Normally I’d expect that to be nearly useless - I generally set up the trap every summer, and have only caught two in the past 6-7 years. But this time I caught one on Sunday, another Monday, and a third on Tuesday. Hopefully that’s all of them, but I’ll keep baiting it and see what happens.

Ever had any luck with moles? We tried traps, poison, they’re still happily tunnellng away.

Dare I ask it?

Uh, what do you do with the groundhogs after they’re caught?

Just wondering.
