Groundhogs/woodchucks

Im going to try this.

I killed 3 moles last year. Literally waited until I could see them moving through tunnels then girlfriend would quickly open it up with shovel and i would take a slap shot with them off of my fence.

Now the offsprings are back to avenge their fallen fathers

Caught not one but two trying to get in my wifes graden. Better not eat my yellow peppers ass hats

Last year we had mole issues. My dad used to kill 3 or 4 with these trapes every year. No mole issues this year, so far

Cantaloupe works great as a bait to trap them

I’ve yet to trap a mole. Darndest thing. I have both the hoop type trap and the spike trap. Haven’t been able to kill one ever.

Put a cord of wood on the edge of your yard, it’ll keep em so busy they’ll leave your garden alone…

Woodchucks can weaken building foundations with their borrowing and they will also chew electric wires…sometimes they’ll even find their way into vehicle engine compartments and chew through everything. Left to their own devices, they are pretty destructive critters, especially, over time.

I treated my lawn with grub killer the last 3 springs and the moles are now at infestation levels. I think I need another approach.

If someone fed me Whistlepig without telling me, I would snap. Its gotta be a southern thing.

Do they still sell the gas bombs?

Because that stuff worked…the hoop traps work but its hit or miss. Gas bombs were way more satisfying…little clouds of death wafting up from the mole trails…

Edit- Yes indeed. Amazon.

“Not for use on woodchucks in California”.

Don’t know till you try it. :wink:

I believe it was Ernest Hemingway that listed the foods he missed from America when he was in Paris. Raccoon was on the list I believe. Don’t know about Punxsutawney Phil…

I hear ya, syd. I’ve ate some “exotic” meats, but I NEED to know what I’m putting in my mouth before had.
Gator…okay
Rattle snake…meh
Marsh hare, another tricky name, aka muskrat…surprisingly, not too bad. Tastes like a cross between a squirrel and rabbit.
Coon…not a fan
Black bear…not unless I’m starving.
Ostrich…kinda chickeny
No whistle pig though…

I’ve tried alligator and rattlesnake, so theres that.

I ate donkey on one trip to China. It was actually pretty good.

Rabbit is delicious when done right (either stewed with onions or just grilled like chicken works).

Alligator is okay….

I’ve eaten lamb brains (this is what happens when you marry a Greek) - not horrible with a little salt and pepper.

Better whistle pig than long pig, I guess.

My favorite survivalist (Les Stroud) said the key to eating anything gross is to be hungry enough. He explained how your palette becomes more adventurous as the hours without food become days. He was eating a roasted scorpion kabob while saying this.
