[quote=Anonymous]First, congratulations on creating a perfect edge of wood habitat! Groundhogs are particular about where they hang out and are never far from a burrow, which means you have great drainage. Know that he is fat because he is stuffing himself to survive the winter without eating. Given your location, removing animals will not eliminate them anyway. So trap and release is kind of pointless. What I do is plant specific areas of their favorites and hope that keeps them away from my favorites which would never be their first choice. For your groundhog, this means, allow the clover, buttercups, plantain, and dandelions to grow in your grass - the groundhog and rabbits will take care of it for you. Plant timothy grass or orchard grass in grouping along the woodland border. They love that.[/quote]
