Happy whistle pig day

I want to be first to wish yo'all a happy ground hog day.
I think the best way to see a ground hog is through the sights of ones favorite rifle.
On a related subject, Leroy Troy sang aboot 5 pounds of possum in my headlights tonite.
They say that the almighty put every thing on earth for a purpose. What is the purpose of ground hogs and abundant politicians?
 
Tomorrow. Weather forecast is for one to six inches here. If he shows his ugly puss, he deserves a .223 between the running lites.
 
Now tell me, what has a little ol' ground hog ever done to you to deserve a bullet in the head? I swear, if rednecks got a hatred for big toes you all would be walking with a permanent limp. :lol:

I don't likeum ground hogs cause they destroy property, digging tunnels under the ground and ruining foundations.
I guess the only place they can dig um tunnels would be under the ground. It wood be difficult to dig um tunnel on top of ground.

My handle is actually LFure. I guess the type on the page doesn't make this clear. Anyway, I was feeling mean this morning and needed to poke a bear. This winter storm has really made the arthritis in my spine kick my butt. On top of that the other day I brought a supply of coal and a small jag of firewood down to the house. This made a disc bulge in my lower back, which makes my legs hurt like the devil. It just sux to be me, sometimes. So, you guys just go ahead a shoot the groundhogs and never mind me.
 
Lfire, where do you all live? If yo want maybe I can round up a bunch of wood chucks and bring to you, I donut know if there is a licenses required to transport ground hogs across state lines.
I can find oot and let yo know.
 
Hmmmmmmmmm, I'd guess you never had a hayfield infested with the miserable little devils or tried to raise a garden with any of the stinkin' things around.

They might be fun to observe as long as they are on somebody ELSE'S property. Preferably at least 50 miles away.

I'm in Wisconsin. I think ground hogs are protected here, unless they're doing damage. I have dropped a set of front wheels in groundhog holes before. But badger holes are bigger and can damage a tractor if you hit them. I was raking hay, many years ago, with a Case 400 with no power steering. I hit a groundhog hole with the front wheels that had been expanded by a coyote. Nearly broke my arms when the steering wheel spun out of my hands. Now which animal should I have shot? The groundhog who made the hole, the coyote for making it bigger so I wouldn't miss it, or the badger for laughing at me?
 
Then there was the one that got into my garden a couple of years ago. Went to each tomato plant, stood up on its hind legs, and took a bite out of each ripe tomato. By the time it was done, that critter ruined my entire tomato crop for that year. I went down to the local Army-Navy store and bought a .22 rifle with scope, a couple of boxes of ammo, and went and sighted it in. I suppose that ground hog knew better than to come back. After that, I surrounded my garden with an electric fence. So far, no more trouble with the critters.
