Further delay getting going this morning .... pulling the truck out of the barn & noticed my groundhog trap door was down. That was interesting because I had moved the trap away from the brush pile where they have dens, and up the hill under a cedar tree. I didn’t remember closing the trap door. No bait & fairly open location. Mom was dumping tree debris on the pile at one den hole & I didn’t want her running over the trap (she ran over my Squirrelinator at the old house).
So I walked down almost to the trap, close enough to see I did have a groundhog. Not the biggest I’ve caught, but smaller ones grow bigger so I am just happy to have caught yet one more. Mom has been seeing one run between the pole shed & the den hole (a pretty good distance between) so hopefully this is that groundhog
Another pelt on the wall of the work shed? LOL!
