Looks like they might be making a come back down here. Been seeing more hit along the roads than I've seen in years.

I am a little surprised that there out so early? I understand we had a warmer winter , but surprised how early.

Have not seen one yet.

I saw one back in the woods last week but.... I didn't have a rifle with me.... shame on me.

#2 was in the weeds eating. Whistled and he turned around and stood right up. Guess that’s why they call them whistle pigs. 50yrd shot.

I have been taught you wont see a female out of the den till pups are weened. Both of mine so far have been males.

I don’t give a crap about weening or anything else when it comes to these over sized excavating rats, I’ll kill as many of them as I can. And I don’t care how or what with. This is one critter, that if it went extinct tomorrow I would have to try, make an actual effort, to care less.

I agree with everything you posted !!!

We bought an old abandoned farm house with two old barns that's been empty for years and the groundhogs have taken over both barns, destructive vermin. Revenge is coming!!








But on the bright side I welcome this little guy just wish he could take on a groundhog.

Watched one climb my neighbor's chain link fence yesterday. Jumped about three feet over to his wood pile.

They're tasty barbequed in the crock pot. 'Specially the little ones.

A package of mole smokers and a shovel will alleviate much of the problem.

I have seen a few out in fields while out around. I'm hoping to see a few this spring. Maybe get a young one to try in the crockpot.

Game animal or varmint, each deserves a humane exit.

Got to watch this beautiful Bald Eagle munch on #2 yes for close to an hour. Was awesome to see one that close.

Thats awesome. If I owned land I would consider it an honor to have a eagle visit and hunt my property.
