My only experience with groundhogs is the one that grazed in my leased garden plot in Columbia back when I had a condo. Every night he would eat what he liked and take one bite from my pumpkins and spit it out. I swore I’d kill him if I had the chance.
Then one night after working an Os game, I was heading home late and decided to water so I wouldn’t have to make the trip out the next day. Sure enough, I heard rustling and he was in the garden eating stuff. I picked up a shovel, inched closer to within striking range, he didn’t move, and I wimped out.
I shared all my efforts and decorated with scarred pumpkins that year.
