I got a mama and 3 of her babies here in the side yard and here I am thinking about how to get closer to them by knowing what else they eat. Silly me! And yes we have a HUGE front lawn, a specious side lawn and the back yard area that’s smaller but leads out to the woods or over to the next yard. The thing is our property is the furthest away from the main road where the house is far from the road but closer to the woods so we get ALOT of deer strolling and chilling in the yard areas because it is so far from the road no humans other than the ppl living here and the whole property is mowed every 9 days! So any animal that lives open spacious far from cars ppl and traffic close to the woods would love this property. Mama ground Hogg’s looks so cute with her babies in the yard feeding on stuffs I had to look up info on them but now thinking 2ce about trying to get closer to them cuz of their cuteness.

Hmm we have seen one! Ran under several cars we have & a strange nesting under the hood of the newest car(plenty room under there 4 cyc engine!?) For now trying to keep yard/grass cut more often! Got a hand air gun & rifle air gun! It keeps coming back we are gonna start having target practice on its behind! A friend of mine jus told me he has 5 at his dads old open shed! A family of them!!!

We have multiple rifles for different ranges. The farthest open parts of the property are over 100 yards from the house, so a scoped .223 rifle is the weapon of choice for any out there, while a lever-action .22 or even a .22 revolver is fine for the close ones. The problem with the close ones is that they tend to be skittish, so you have to be careful about making noise.

Then she disappeared for a few days and I though she was gone. And then. . . you know what's coming don't you? Yup, then she showed up and was normal sized again but had four babies with her. Watching the entire family eat the clover in my back yard was seriously adorable, I must admit. She lives in a log pile at the back of the yard and hides when she sees our dog. We've got the veggie garden fenced and she stays away from the flowers and herbs, so I would say we are peacefully co-existing.

@@nancywaters253 Those 4 young ones will all have to build burrows somewhere, probably nearby. Oh, and each one builds at least 2 burrows, so that's 8 more tunnels on or near your property. Keep an eye out for them going under any decks that you may have. We didn't bother with them for the first few years that I lived at our current home, and that was a mistake, since they started coming up to dig under our decks and steps. We now have a shoot on sight policy for them if they show themselves anywhere on our property that we can see from the house. My dad grew up about 30 miles or so from here on a farm with woods and a stream on the property, where he wandered around as a kid and observed all kinds of wildlife, and yet he never saw one, probably because the farmers had eradicated them in the area for being the absolute menaces that they are. As this area loses more farmland, though, the people stop being vigilant about the threat that they pose, until it becomes a problem for them. Whenever I see one that was hit by a car, which is sadly pretty rare, I just say, "Good." No coexistence for me.

Groundhogs have natural predators that would keep them in check if there weren't so many suburban and rural gardens. Human interventions such as farming, large and small scale have allowed rodents - rabbits, moles, and others to thrive. These wouldn't run over an area if there were a lot of predators, foxes, hawks, owls, etc. So, it's not like we are in their habitat, actually, they are in our habitats, and have a better life and multiply because humans keep their enemies away.
