I guess I'll have to bring out the Havahart trap. What do you use for
bait? BTW what's the density of groundhogs?. If I trap the one in my
garden will another one just show up to take his place?. Back in the 80s
I was trapping raccoons and that was hopeless. I moved 50 of them before
I gave up. The thing that finally got the raccoons under control was a
rabies epidemic.
