Fricken groundhogs

...have several of them living out back under the sheds... told me wife that as long as they behaved... no issue.

Now them suckers are wiping out all of the plants on our raised deck. Need to procure subsonic ammo tomorrow. Wife is not happy.

Told her... I can coexist with them until they have become a nuisance. They have become a nuisance.

Am surprised that they behaved for this long... and am also surprised that my Korean neighbor hasn't launched an all out assault on them as well.. they've been killing his garden and I have heard him muttering expletives in his native tongue on more than one occasion...

good eating.

I used to have horses, they are obviously a scourge to anyone with horses. I still have a large cage trap in the barn. It is a very effective method to catch, then dispose, of them. You might think about a trap near your garden. Given you are in the People's Republik of Marlyand, you might check your local laws regarding trapping. Good luck.

Yea... I'm used to shoot, shovel and shutup here.

I do have a small trap... but it's not up to the task. My bleeding, animal loving heart of my wife propelled her to order this via Amazon Prime:

Judging by this, and your first post, I think we are married to the same women. My wife pressured me into buying this from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/HUX-EYE-Humane-Entrances-Anti-escape/dp/B01LZ3BOWF/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1498073806&sr=8-9&keywords=live++traps

I've used those to get rid of squirrels in a detached garage. You still have to get rid of the critters once you catch them. I was a softy and transported them 10 miles away and left them in a wooded area. At this point I would probably find something less bothersome. I leave that to your imaginations.

I have two options, after I start collecting them.

It is illegal in Maryland to relocate a nuisance animal. But then again, no one follows the law anymore here anyway... I mean look at all of the two legged creatures texting and driving, mudering each other in Baltimore, etc, etc.. So in the matter of life vs death.... they do have options.

....only three more to go Apples seem to work just fine for bait
