Our yard is home to (and I'm not even joking or exaggerating) 8-12 groundhogs. Groundhogs who have dug enough holes in the property around our home that I feel like I'm living in the middle of a field full of land mines. One misstep and there's the potential for a broken leg or ankle. They've also built, based on the babies sunning themselves outside my kitchen window this past May, a substantial tunnel system under my back deck and possibly foundation of our house.
I've just been ignoring them, figuring that when the babies are kicked out of the nest (which should occur anytime now), I'd make a concerted effort to convince the adults that it would be in their best interest to vacate (filling the entrance holes with pepper powder, water, etc.).
This evening, my husband decided to take matters into his own hands and borrowed his mother's .22 and is even now outside sitting in wait.
Am I a bad wife if I pray he misses? :shout
