Too much groundhog talk - I think I jinxed myself LOL!

I had not seen one since the last one I trapped May 26. Just now, coming home up the driveway from the store, I thought the downspout on the far corner of the barn looked unusually large until I realized it was a groundhog, peeping around the barn. Of course, it took off. I will have to bait my trap - the barn is a good distance from the corner of the property where they have their den(s). I don’t like seeing them near the barn, shop, or house.

If your barn has a concrete slab for a floor look for holes. It was a frequent place for groundhog dens until we plugged it up but good. There is nothing they like better than to dig a den under a foundation. Nice and dry.
