Never had an experience like this for one of these critters. Don't normally name them but this one is Caddy Shack! If you don't get the reference you are young enough to goggle it. You won't regret it!

I would surely be jealous right now except that I have basically unlimited dillo trappin and I heard the market is going to boom again any day now! I caught wind of a boom as well! lol The youngster in the cage above was a pain in the butt! To start it was visiting the yard of one of my employee's who only lives a couple blocks from my shop. So it was a freebie if you don't count the case of beer I found next to the set one a.m.. Second I set fast and lazy as I pretty much dropped the trap in the grass next to a shed out of sight of pedestrians. First day produced a grinner. Next day trap was rolled and set off. I thought maybe neighbor except bait was gone so guessed coon. Staked cage down and next day had a coon. Reset and in two days another grinner. At this point I am thinking home owner does not know what a groundhog looks like (if I had a dollar for everytime that turned out to be the case could afford to trap for a living) but she showed me a picture. Next day trap rolled again. So restaked and two days of nothing. The set being worked pretty good I was now able to bury the bottom of cage under a little dirt. This morning caught the brat! My guess is there is still a coon prancing around the neighborhood but mission accomplished and I pulled.

I do look forward to hunting them when the opportunity presents itself again. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

The early hides when they first come out make a real nice combo fur hat. Best sellers were groundhog with red fox flaps. Last edited by Boco; 05/29/22 09:53 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
