What would you be willing to do with a predator?

Groundhog tastes good, by the way. Closest to beef wild meat I've tasted.

Have you had giant snails from. A can from Walmart

I don't know. I did have giant snails once. My friend's mom got all fancy and cooked them in butter , poured some alcohol over them, and lit them on fire. I never saw the can if that's where they came from. They were good. They tasted like butter. And everything's better with butter.

Wowzer. That is a very involved recipe. It probably tastes great. We just roasted parts of it over the campfire. (Groundhog) plus salt.

Yes, I would find that hard as well. If it makes him feel any better, moving the groundhog to another location this time of year would likely lead to a longer, more painful death. The groundhog would have no home for protection from predators or the elements. He would have to find a new food source quickly to make sure he had enough fat to last hibernation, and that would only be if he could find or dig another den. As hard as it was, (and I don't know if I could do it) it was probably better in the long run for the little guy.

You're absolutely right. I had researched that, and often relocated groundhogs do not survive.
