Groundhogs was [AT] Fwd: morning

[Rob Gray]

I'm  not obsessed with them like the Bill Murray character in Caddy 
Shack was, but I had a family of them who have taken up residence under 
my porch and it was a pain to get rid of them. Given that my house is 
field stone construction, having them undermine my foundation is not a 
good thing.  I'd shoot some, or trap some. I think I got the last one 
from that clan last week. I also don't like them living in the yard, but 
if they are out in areas away from the house, I let them be.
