2023 Groundhogs

[Michigan Slim]

This little dude cost me $800 crawled up under my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and ate the fuel pump line along with wiring to my lane departure and offroad lift system. Between these buttholes and the squirrels that chew up the wiring in my truck, I'm losing my mind. Come to find out they use peanut oil in the wiring casing or something along those lines. Why in the heck would car manufacturers do such a stupid thing?

Soybeans used in wire sheathing now. Lost all my furnace wiring. He ad to rewire everything using the schematic on the side of the furnace.

Yes, that's what it was. I'm not sure where I came up with peanut oil, must have been craving chic-fil-a or something. hahaha. I wish the car manufacturers would think things through a little more before using a rodents food source to tie together the electrical wiring in our vehicles.

Pretty sure wire/cabling companies are being scrutinized by EPA & such for using polluting chemicals. They're just trying to find alternative materials to appease the regulators.

Maybe they should make the insulation out of regulator hides...

Yes. Rodents wouldn't chew them then.

I think that's what they call planned obsolescence, or something like that

Their way of keeping you coming back to get work done and spending money. I agree

Got two today. One with my m&p shield and the other with 10/22. Both were running, one at me and the other past me.

Ok, stupid question. Will a pellet gun (.177) or subsonic .22 LR kill a groundhog at close range? Less than 20yds.

Left a couple live traps set for ground hogs last night. Baited them with cantaloupe and all I caught was a possum.

 

[Combat Engineer]

Got this one this morning off my front porch.10mm 200 grain HST.My doorbell alerted me to motion.This dude was eating cat food.

 

[Grogmister]

Neck shot with the HMR at 87yrds. Tail was twirling before he hit the ground. Had a buddy with him but he never came back out. I will get that one as well.

 

[duanewade]

Got this one working his hole out at the old barn foundation.

Been too busy lately but this one was out in the bean stubble across the road. Had to use sticks to steady the rifle as the wind is blowing pretty good. Walked off 80 paces. Had another one in the field but it disappeared in a hole before I could load another round. As long as the temps are above 45° during the afternoon they'll be out fattening up fir winter.
