My young groundhog has not been back after it tried digging under the body grip trap I set at the hole where it was digging into the run.
I suspect it got a smart rap in the face when the trap fired.... and just doesn't want to come anywhere near again. But I'll be keeping an eye out for digging in case it returns.
But the raccoons keep on coming...
... I spotted one picking up sunflower seeds under my bird feeder in the front yard last night when I got up at 2am and looked out the window. The bird feeder is critter proof, but I scatter seed on the ground for the doves, and that does draw raccoons and squirrels. The yard light lets me glance out there and see the raccoons easily so it serves as a census station of sorts.
I'll probably put out melon guts in a live trap in the next day or so to see what I get.
