I'll dig out my Hav-a-heart trap when I get home and see if I don't have a heart. He's a fat rat. I hope he fits. Condolences for your and the family's loss.

I trapped over twenty each spring for three years to get them under control. His oldest son Danny is now seven and took over the groundhog control. In addition to destroying the produce, the holes pose a real danger to the horses. We have a local farmer that we have known for decades. When I was a kid he was constantly damaging front axles on his tractors hitting groundhog holes. He added a condition for all the guys he let hunt the farm "if you see a groundhog, shoot it". Within two years the problem was solved. They weren't all gone, but they at least learned to stay out of the fields. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
