RE: Groundhog problem
 
Thanks for the replies guys. They are on a horse farm, and the owners dont want anyone shooting them because of all the horses around. Ill probably catch em in a box trap and dispose of them elsewhere.

Did you ever think of terriers to get rid of them for you? I know there are a lot of hunting terriers in your area that will go under ground and hunt groundhogs

#220 conibares over the holes will break there necks.Bait a bucket near the holes with a wad of wool and beaver caster and theyll come running!#160s or #220s will kill em but wire them down

The ground hog population around here is just starting to come back after a long time. I caught two this year by sticking 220 coniber traps in front of there holes because I thought it was either a coon or fox den.
