Groundhog Number Five

We heard a scuttling noise under our living room window the other day and peeked out to see a young groundhog setting up shop under our steps. Damn, these rodents are invasive. Kerstin baited the trap this time with slices of apples and we caught the little guy within 12 hours. He too was relocated to Peacock Beach State Park with his siblings, about five miles down the road across a river and an interstate highway. We still need to capture the mother, currently nestled in our raspberries, but she seems much more weary of the trap and/or a crazy guy with a trash pail than her offspring. Smoke bombs have been purchased and are at the ready. Stay tuned....
