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.

where in SW PA? My fiancee lives in the rillton/ Irwin/north huntingdon area. I would be happy to assist you with my .17 local farm I hunt, I have killed over a dozen and they keep showing up!

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.

shoot them anyoing things i am a farmer and they are nothing but a nuisance to me
