Terrierman Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 If we could just somehow manage to get killing and eating bass, pre rap wiggle warts, ned rig info and complaining about jet ski's into this thread pretty sure it is a lock to blind the groundhog from seeing his shadow and the winter will come to an abrupt end mid February. Who would have thought that seasonal weather patterns across the region depend on OAF discussions/arguments? Have I mentioned that I also hunt groundhogs with terriers? For real, no joke with shovels and everything. Dogs wearing high dollar locater collars so we can tell exactly where they are in the earth. Deepest hole I ever dug? A measured 10'6". With help.

Seth Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I don't think I've seen anybody more mad at groundhogs than my dad. Dad finally got one of those big pumpkins to grow in his garden a few years ago. One day he went out there and a ground hog had destroyed it! From that day forth, Bill Murray in Caddyshack doesn't have much on dad when it comes to groundhogs. They are still around though and really appreciate dad's big turnip food plot that he plants in the bottom for the deer every fall. Champ188 and Terrierman 2
Smalls21 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm a bunny hugger. And a Henry hugger. This is 20 pounds of the best dadgum pet I have ever had. Never had one you could interact with on practically a human level, but this is one smart cookie right here. champ, he looks about like my cat, mine is about 16lbs. darn cat will not lay beside me , he has to lay on me.

Seth Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Good stuff, Seth. Sitting in a recliner with a critter piled up on you just can't be beat, IMO. Don't know what we'd do without all/any of ours. Nice smallmouth and gobble-birds, by the way. I'm too much of a dang softy to kill anything on four legs anymore, but birds I can shoot. Gonna get back into turkey hunting someday. I love to fish, but my absolute favorite time of the year is when I get to bow hunt between Halloween and rifle season. Watching a buck come cruising past you grunting after a doe and hearing a spring gobbler sound off right on top of you give me more of an adrenaline rush than any fish ever has. Plus, I absolutely LOVE eating wild turkey and deer meat.

We had a big Siamese tom cat that would do the same thing when I was younger. He'd jump up on the bed and plop down on your chest and wake you from a dead sleep until you pet him for a while. Ham 1
dtrs5kprs Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I don't think I've ever been quite that mad at a groundhog. I have. A big one. He decided to dig a home in the poured concrete planters alongside our front step. Tried traps, poison, all the usuals with no luck. Had pretty well given up until I was on the way to the bank one afternoon to pull out some money for a gun show. There he was in the street just down from the house. Some would say a Ford Excursion is too much for hunting groundhogs, but to them I say you always need to bring enough gun. Best part was one of the neighborhood teenagers and her boyfriend were walking up the other side of the street. She had just raised her phone up for a picture of him when I swerved to address his threat to my sanity. Great big "Ohhhh" frozen on her face. I rolled my window down, and shouted with a madman's glee "He has been living in my front steps!" Kids just don't understand the simple joys of life. abkeenan, Terrierman, Bluff-Bassin and 2 others 5

Henry is an absolute piece of work. Does absolutely the same thing about laying ON me. We have a bedtime ritual of me putting 2 (not 1 or 3, mind you) fuzzy mice at the living room end of the hall. Donna then brings him a drink of water in a plastic cup, which he drinks from (and washes his feet in) on the nightstand on my side of the bed. The minute I turn the light out, he jumps down and heads down the hall for one of those mice. Once he has one in his mouth, he begins this insanely loud howling while carrying it to the bedroom, then jumping up on the bed to come drop it beside my head and get his resulting petting and praising. At that point, he may go get the other one but usually lays down between us and goes to sleep. When we wake up the next morning, both mice will be in the bed but he doesn't do all of the howling with the second one. On weekends, I might as well just set my alarm like a regular workday because if I'm not up by 6:30 a.m., he's jumping up and down on me until I get up. Seth 1
