hogs underground



jpr: There be at least three, (3) of'em ground hogs in my back field. They like to dig in a rise with good water drainage.  Entrance is always a base of old tree or thicket with lots of roots to stabilize their dig. There be several emergency plunge holes  scattered about. One be under my shed. Young'ens learn to use 'em right off. Lots of fun watching them critters when the field be quiet like.
