Some time In the first week of July I'll post some pictures of how to catch wood chucks In 160s.

I don’t know much about 160s and woodchucks but as has been mentioned they can be deadly on coon. Study what jabNE wrote. I still like 220s but own more 160s than 220s

Got chuck #2 for the year today.

I don’t use the 1x2s. Although maybe i should. Just get as tight as possible to hole and spread out the springs til it seems solid. Than I get a handful of grass and twist in tight and put on top. Sometimes thru spring depends on how the hole is. Woodchuck summer trapping is a lot of fun and I enjoy it

well guys im just going to use 220s ive used all yalls tips and tricks and they did work just for baby ghogs but the adults always seem to snap them off it must be sometng im doing though. thanks for the help

you never did post any pics of how your using them

that totally slipped my mind sorry i will try and send a pic here soon

Next week I'll post some pics.

I’m looking very forward to that

same here
how big are yalls ghogs? the ones im catching are probably 10 to 15 pounds

10-15 # ghogs are old hogs. Ive caught some monsters that couldnt turn around in a 30"comstock. Most are well under 5#

i caught one in a 220 and it was big, it might not even be able to fit its head in a 160 lol

The heads don't get bigger but the body does. LOl

All I use for woodchucks is #160's. Caught around 30 this year so far

Not to be a kill joy but 160's are illegal on land in Ohio!

Yeah… I’m more of a fan of 220s

Yes and no. You can use them on groundhogs if you use an enclosure to keep anything outside the hole from getting caught. It's in the nuisance regs

(6) Woodchucks or groundhogs

It shall be unlawful:

(a) To use a body gripping trap with a jaw spread greater than seven inches across to take woodchucks;

(c) For any person who is not a licensed commercial nuisance wild animal control operator to set, use, or maintain a body gripping trap greater than five inches to take woodchucks that does not have an enclosure or structure around the trap which prohibits other animals from getting into the trap from the outside;

(d) For a licensed commercial nuisance wild animal control operator to set, use, or maintain a body gripping trap greater than six inches to take woodchucks that does not have an enclosure or structure around the trap which prohibits other animals from getting into the trap from the outside;
