I have a Ground Hog Family, living under our Shed, a Mother and three babies, they are awesome to me and my family, they are very inquisitive, and like to play on the wood piles, they can stay there as long as they want, they don't seem to be causing any problems. they are so cute. They just recently made up residence about a few weeks ago.

[@BEder-it4lf]

Libby Checks I've lost my garden to them a few times.

[@405boy4]

Libby Checks I have always wondered myself, why people view them as pests. My X-wife ha two groundhogs that live by her and my kids think they're cool to look at. I remember seeing them and thinking they were interesting, but nothing about them lead me to believe they would be a problem like raccoons or opossums..

[@Aetheros89]

405 BOY depends on where they burrow, groundhogs tend to like burrowing next to garages, or under deck. If they burrow close to the foundation it can cause you a whole lot of headaches. I had one burrow under my driveway, I need to evict him and fill the hole or risk having my driveway collapse.

[@405boy4]

We have a groundhog living in our back yard, he is such a little sweetheart. The first video I watched regarding said groundhogs were "aggressive", so I was a bit weary of the little guy. But I soon found my own experience to be far different. As always seems to be when dealing with nature, you get what you give.

[@tonyprice2256]

@@ethanclark6859 We have had a big guy living under the shed in our backyard for about five years now. He is frightened by me, even though have no intentions of doing any harm. If he is out when i enter the backyard, he scoots very quickly to one of his tunnels that lead under the shed. We have two cats, and they must have come to some sort of understanding with the woodchuck. I have not witnessed any interactions between them, but the cats must know to leave this guy alone. I have seen the woodchuck out in the yard at the same time as our 11 pound all white female cat, and they were pretty much ignoring each other doing their own things. I should add that the cat i just described is very territorial. I have seen her be aggressive to much larger dogs, and one time saw her claw a huge male raccoon in the nose and chase him out of the yard. He never came back.

[@ethanclark6859]

@@tonyprice2256 regardless, if anything corners a groundhog it’ll fight like hell to try and get away. They have some nasty teeth, and I’ve seen multiple large dogs with chunks missing from their faces because they cornered one.

[@ryancrazy1]

1:15 did you say "the more usual weight is 49 lb" ????

[@geoffstockton]

So, I live in Kalamazoo Michigan in a neighborhood close to downtown. It’s not a terribly groomed neighborhood which we don’t personally mind. Just outside our house and across from our driveway stands a large bur oak tree nearly as big as the Honda fit that I drive. at the base of this tree, is a relatively large hole. I have two rather large woodchucks living there. Just in front of that tree is a smaller tree stump. Every day they come out from their hole and forage in the brush surrounding the tree and eventually chill on top of the tree stump. I sit on my front porch and play mandolin or guitar for the woodchucks. In spite of me primarily being a jazz guy, Bluegrass seemed like the appropriate music to play for them. So, as you can imagine, this video is after my heart.

Happy Groundhog Day! We’re getting an early spring this year!

[@mondo78]

Had them digging a burrow under my deck up next to my limestone foundation. One spot in the basement it made an escape hole inside, thanks to lousy engineering by the previous owner when digging out the basement. He dug lower than the original foundation. Never saw any evidence he came inside but was time to get him or her removed. Have removed two groundhogs and going for a third I see running around. Also caught three raccoons and an opossum. Took each of them out in the country about 10 miles away and where any homes were pretty far away. There was a good water source nearby for them too. They are neat critters but when they begin to do damage around the home and eat from my garden they got to go. I might need to put up a fence around the garden for next year.

[@Georgealfa21]

Mondo, thanks for releasing the critters out in the country away from people and homes and giving them a good location to start over and not harming or killing them just for existing, like so many other cold blooded asshole people, like 'boudreau' above my response., honestly boudreau, it's a shame we cant just do what you suggest him to do to you. I'd rather use at least a .22-250 or even better a .300 Ultra Mag loaded with 120 gr ballistic tips pushing 3800fps and see the magical mist it'd make out of you, then follow the rest of your instructions, throw you down a cave or well then cap it off with a big boulder or some concrete work to seal your sorry mean ass corpse in there so your family'd never find ya, you fucking piece of shit, but hey, that's just my opinion.
