- Опубліковано 17 січ 2010
- Narrated. An uncommon, entertaining, and informative look at the behavior and family life of groundhogs (woodchucks) living on our rural property. Includes footage of groundhog Wilhelmina, her babies (chucklings) and mates, Gregory and Woodrow. Footage features groundhogs eating, sleeping, climbing in trees, playing, grooming, leaf gathering, and more. Registered copyright PA 2-171-807 For more about this continuing project, check out our website www.woodchuckwo...
NOTE: 3/2/10 There MAY be misidentification of the chuck in the spat scene with Woodrow. Chucks are not tagged or identified by DNA testing.
For the past six years this has been my favorite video on UA-cam. No idea how I found it, just that it's my favorite.
+Walt Rennoa Thank you for your
comment!!
Reminds me of old tornado videos the way It's shot and narrated.
This is such a beautiful video about groundhogs. I just love groundhogs and think they are just the cutest animals.I just feel that they are so magnificent! Thank so much for protecting these beautiful animals and educating people about them! God bless your for all your dedication and hard work to protect these beautiful animals!
This is exactly how they are in my backyard!! I love watching them play! My neighbor set traps that caught two of the babies I was so angry because the hogs lived on my property! But I'm sure they'll be more next year!!!
I am sorry to hear that. We have 8 babies this year,
along with their mother, Heidi, and father, Raggedy.
This was the best video I've ever seen! I love Woodchucks! Thanks!
This was the best whistle pig video I've ever seen! I've never seen all the stuff they do before, it was very cool. Nice job with the video!
fantastic..And what a lovely garden, Those woodchucks rock!!
Beautiful film. Very lucky family to live in such beautiful surroundings. People and animals enjoying life together.
Thank you so much for your comment! Glad you enjoyed this film and hope you will consider checking out some of our other films on this channel.
You gotta love the algorithm. This is instant classic. Thank you, man, for this extraordinary piece ❤
I'm so glad I just found your channel! Watching your little neighbors brings me so much joy!
Thank you for your comment. Happy to hear our chucks bring you pleasure! Please consider checking out my website. www.woodchuckwonderland.com
@@chuckland2009 I found your channel from your website, and your website from the references page at wildfoods4wildlife! It's awesome!
Excellent video! Well done! Thank you!
+twyggy Glad you enjoyed!
Great video, we have a mom and three chucklings in our backyard this year. They love our deck and shed, and this litter is verybcuriou
i loved the documentary. thank you for making
Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is so fantastic! Thank you for documenting these lovely guys.
Thank you Nicole and you are welcome. Glad you
enjoyed! The project has continued and this year
our female, Heidi, had eight babies!
what wonderful creatures ,you are so Blessed to have their close company ,Enjoy !!!
Thank you for your comment! They are very interesting animals. This project has continued, over 14 years now. If you would like to see some updates, check out my website at www.woodchuckwonderland.com
Great video! I had some groundhogs digging around my house foundation so I trapped them and move them far from my house. Now I miss seeing them around.
Francisco, Thank you for your comment and for not killing them! We have had them here for over 14 years now and have burrows under our decks, shed, in our barn and in the woods. Periodically one of the young ones will begin digging next to our house. We have successfully stopped them by using ammonia, used cat litter, and human urine. We fill the burrow in and place a board on top with a heavy rock. Some people use fox urine. They would not dig deep enough to go beneath our basement. One room addition is on a crawl space and they haven't dug beneath that. The Wikipedia article on groundhogs says it would take a lot of groundhogs working over a lot of years to create tunnel systems that would pose risk to a structure. We have continued to photograph and film the groundhogs here subsequent to this video. If you would like to see more, please check out my website. www.woodchuckwonderland.com
Wonderful video, with such beautiful and natural scenery! Loved it!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you Sukarman!
Great video, beautifully done with love. I had no idea that groundhogs climbed trees. Thank you for the information! :)
Thank you for your kind comment!
Top notch video. Marty Stouffer would be jealous. Thank you very much for sharing it. ♥
PS- You do have a lovely property tended with very noticeable TLC, quite dreamy
PPS- You must have some media or broadcast experience: The presentation is pitch perfect, the editing is nice and sharp, and the narrator has a gift for communicating, I notice, both in the actual speaking and scripting. Very nice all around. Many thanks again.
Be blessed. :3
Wow, thank you so much for your high praise of our video! Neither my husband nor I have a broadcasting background. My husband is a Vietnam veteran and retired machine repairman from Ford Motor.We both worked on the scripting, I edited, my husband did narration.We are both self taught, learning through trial and error, which at times was both frustrating and comical. You can read some info about us on my website. /www.woodchuckwonderland.com We had discussion with PBS some years ago about the airing of one of our videos but there were technical issues that we could not overcome. It was after this that we decided to produce video to post to You Tube. I had also been contacted by a documentary film production company who were planning a groundhog TV show for Nat Geo and were interested in using our story but those plans were apparently cancelled. I recently uploaded a longer video in two parts, expanded from this video with additional scenes.Thank you for the compliment on our property! Have a great Groundhog Day!!
***** Thank you for the insights; I would've been certain you guys were in some media business, it's such a great presentation. I guess practice really does make perfect.
Thanks also for the link and notice about the other vids. I will check them out over the week.
A Happy Groundhog day to you too- have a great week!
...litter is very curious about us, and don't get scared too easily by us or noise. Very fun to watch and observe.
Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting.
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing, great video! We have a family of groundhogs in our backyard but they are very shy. Their main burrow is fairly close to our patio deck door and even closer to our rear entrance door so we don't get to view them for any length of time because they are aware of people coming and going through the either door.
Roxanne Quigley Thank you for your comment. They can be very
wary. We photograph and film from inside our home through our
many windows. If I were outside, there is no way I would have
been able to capture the footage and images that I have.
Thanks! Very nice. video..we have a groundhog now in our backyard...have enjoyed the oppossum and raccoons before this...we also have armadillos now ...somewhere nearby....too bad we have too much traffic also nearby....:(
i love thes little guys there so dam smart well done on your vids
Thank you!
that communication at @1:25 was so weird, looked like the body language of a normal conversation
+stubs Thank you for your comment!
We had similar thoughts.
Telepathy !
Great video. Its a shame that more people haven't watched it over the past 8 years. Then there would be much less traffic to the videos that illustrate how to get rid of groundhogs.
Thank you, HighlanderNorth 1, for your comment! This video took some time to be noticed. Groundhogs-Sounds of Whistle Pigs..was the most popular. Now this one has the lead and it is all a matter of word of mouth. You might be interested to know that we have continued with this project, now at 14 years. You can see updates on my website, www.woodchuckwonderland.com and Facebook page.
so well done - thank you! I know how time consuming it is to get good footage.
Cr8zy4Carrots Thank you so much for
your comment! It is very time consuming..
That actually was quite #Amazing
Interesting
I really needed to see this. We have some groundhogs that are somewhat a nuisance under this shed. I think we will try moving the shed, placing something less necessary there over the hole again as opposed to what we 'were' gonna do... I will show my whole family this video!! Great narration, I love the things that were pointed out. Just fantastic all around.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed this video. I don't know that you would resolve any issues by moving your shed. You might find it helpful to check out the Humane Society's suggestions and other methods to prevent groundhogs from making their burrows under your shed. If you want to know more, please visit my website. www.woodchuckwonderland.com
Great video! :)
Thank you Sherrie!
😂omg i finally found a legit video that actually has answered all my damn questions thank you had 6 groundhogs under my porch now 3 left 2 deff have holes n barns n the last guy well we had to make a hole goin into our tiny shed cuz flooded behind my property n in front river n hway...tho mother helped the other 3 but not this guy its very sad watchin how lost he looks...
it so beautiful
Thank you!
A Marmot is a close relative of wood chuks.
A woodchuck IS a marmot. There are 15 marmota species. Woodchucks are Marmota monax.
I seriously did not know they could climb trees.
Many people didn't know that.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I would guess judging by size of those teeth it would or could be a lot.
Hi Scenic Music Videos. According to New York state wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could "chuck" around 35 cubic feet of dirt when digging a burrow. He reasoned that if a woodchuck could "chuck" wood, he would chuck an amount equal to the weight of the dirt--about 700 pounds.
I Love Groundhogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These destructive rodents are so annoying. They have wrecked my retaining wall, eaten my wires, and now my lawn is full of lumps and holes and have messed with the rocks in my wall that are now falling. Sorry, but who makes a film about these nuisances?
+Dolores M We do & have been observing them for
over 13 years, have over 300 hours of video and
thousands of photographs. I do presentations for
school children, have a website and Facebook page.
Lawn full of lumps and holes? Sounds like a mole,
vole, or perhaps gopher, not a woodchuck. Every year,
we have to reset landscape stones due to mole activity.
Thanks Chuck. Our entire community has had it with these gophers we have been under the impression they were wood chucks. They have destroyed small nurseries and they have eaten some very underprivileged neighbors gardens. It is sad. Sorry, they all look alike and it is a shame because when I moved here I thought they were so cute. I have spent hundreds trapping and releasing. The guys we have now are causing the elderly to fall into holes, etc. So, please forgive my nastiness. We are beyond help here.
+Dolores M I think it's possible you may
be seeing some woodchucks but attributing
mole, vole, or gopher behavior to the woodchuck.
woodchucks may eat from gardens, as do deer
and rabbits and even birds. I have filmed robins
eating our begonias! In my talks with people about
woodchucks, it is not uncommon for me to find they
attribute all yard damage to woodchucks erroneously
because that is the animal they see. People also
confuse woodchucks with other burrowing animals
like gophers and moles. A woodchuck burrow hole
would usually be easy to see as it is about 8 inches
in diameter. A groundhog is about 16-26 inches long
including tail. If you would like to learn more, you
might find my other videos helpful. Also check out
my Facebook page and website,
www.woodchuckwonderland.com
You might also check out the Humane Society
site. They usually can provide information on
how to live with wild animals or methods to
discourage. Your nastiness is forgiven.:)
After your details of the size of their burrowing hole you are correct. Definitely gophers and/or moles. I know woodchucks are the greatest builders God put on this earth. I guess I should stop yelling at the moles and gophers to go build something. Thank you and I will check out your link. I suppose we are all just so fed up with these creatures I wondered why you like them so much when ours are so hideous. I thought you must be really understanding with a beautiful property like that and you just love woodchucks. You're right it can't be the same creature. Your property would have been demolished by now. Take care and enjoy your Woodchucks.
+Dolores M My husband and I have committed ourselves to this project because we found that what we had heard and read didn't always match up to what we were observing. After over 13 years, we have found no reason yet to get rid of them. They have multiple burrows on our property, in the barn, under our decks and shed and off in the fields. Our structures are all still standing. In the barn, it is a matter of sharing with them. They do have holes but we just step around them. We have had no major issues with them. We had dogs some years ago that loved digging in the yard. We loved our dogs and wouldn't have considered getting rid of them for digging. Adding some new material to my website. We have added trail cameras in our barn to document what goes on in there. Changes to my site should be done next week.
Beautiful, entertaining, and educational!
Very nice. Thank you. My 1st experience with a groundhog this summer. Taming quickly. Likes the cats.
This is a treasure! Thank you.
Thank you, John, for your comment.
what a fabulous share from your garden. narration excellent and the filming is fanatastic! your woodchucks [and other visitors] have captured my spirit ~ thank you!
we are all now
chuckling at chucklings
Thank You.
You're welcome!
I thank you for this wonderful video. I cannot wait to show my young grandchildren.
Thank you Marla. I hope your grandchildren enjoy! I give yearly presentations to kindergarten children locally which is always fun. If you would be interested in updated info on our project, check out my website. www.woodchuckwonderland.com
That was wonderful - thanks!
The nose to mouth touching is their way of greeting each other just wanted to let you know :)
They are also very sweet and loving creatures that happen to be one of the more easily habituated animals. I found an orphan when I was 15 and have had her for 5 years now (of course I don't condone taking wildlife from it's natural environment to keep as a pet) I didn't realize that they were so easily tamed when I was younger and was unable to release her once she was old enough to be on her own. But she is one of the best "pets" I have ever had and she is more loving than any cat, dog, or other animal that I have ever owned or met. She loves to cuddle and follow me around the house, she litter trained herself, loves to wrestle and pounce on my hands before running and hiding under the nearest object to plan her next surprise "attack". all around she has a very full and hilarious personality, and I wouldn't trade her for the world.
Well done and very cute!
Groundhogs, my favorite animal.
This is a cool video! I too have a groundhog that lives in my yard.. Very active and funny.
Very nice film and information given in a kind and friendly way! cute!
Thank you, Jacqueline.
This is so cute
I. Loved. This video. Thank you!
It had not yet been filled. Bummer.
LMAO!
Very nice. You should work for Nat. Go. or PBS. Great documentary.
+t walker Thank you for your kind comment!
:) That little baby looks like he's telling his momma a fib.
Or some tall tale :)
Yes, exactly... you hit the nail on the head. A tall tale for sure. :)
Maybe complaining about brother or sister. Didn't look like Mom was buying the story. :)
EXACTLY!! Not buying it for a second. As she walks away he's still pleading his case. ha ha. So cute!
Of course we can't know for sure but it does give that impression! ha ha
Awesome! Love it! Write a book about your furry backyard pals!
danceskatehorse, Thank you so much for your
kind remarks. I have often thought of writing a book but
this project is very time consuming. With just me and
my husband working on it there is just no time to
research how to go about writing one, getting
published etc. So I do videos, have my FB page
and website as well as a Nat Geo Your Shot
gallery. I am glad you enjoyed!
You are most welcome! Love those groundhogs!
Well, things change. Book to be published soon!
We have groundhogs all over the place here in northeastern Ohio. My dad had them under the back porch for years. They moved out and skunks moved in one year, and that was unpleasant. The following year, we had a huge hawk make his home in the area and perch on the fence like a statue, watching for rabbits. I think he was displaced from his home when the owners of the Mentor Marsh took extreme lengths to eradicate invasive phragmites.
Groundhogs are cute from afar, but when you get close you can tell they are smelly and have a barrier aura of houseflies around them.
All animals have their own particular odor. If you have ever had a dog, you know they also have an odor. And dogs like to roll around in poop. Talk about smelly!
And not only do dogs roll in it, they like to eat it and then want to lick your face! Ah, but we all love our pet dogs.
Yes, groundhogs may have flies around them. So do deer.
Last winter we had no groundhogs hibernating in our barn which is where a hibernation burrow is located. We had at least four skunks, as well as raccoons, move in. A lot more odor from them than we've ever had from groundhogs. Great thing about groundhogs is they have a toilet chamber in their burrow and never leave their droppings outside of it. Unlike raccoons and skunks. It looks like we might have groundhogs taking
up residence again, which we welcome.
@@chuckland2009 Always been more of an indoor cat person. I do love other people's dogs, unless they are chihuahuas.
We had indoor cats too. But there are feral cats that roam about our property and they are quite destructive to some wildlife, like birds. Some people keep woodchucks as pets.
Thank you. Maybe you can advise: my parents place, groundhogs are established inside a fence (coyotes can't get in, and the large dogs for whom it was put up have been gone for about eight years). For at least four years (probably more) there's been one large, fat, happy groundhog, I guess a female, who now has two adorable little babies who just today sat sunning themselves with their paws resting on the bottom rail of the wrought iron fence around the... swimming pool. This is the problem: I think her burrow runs under the tile walk around the pool (in ground, it's been there for almost fifty years) and it's at the top of a fairly steep slope, with a juniper hedge along the top and dense grass planted on the slope (then hurricane fence surrounds the whole slope). I just read how much dirt groundhogs move when burrowing, and I'm starting to worry about them undermining the walk and/or causing the hillside to start slipping.
So... question: should we trap them? And if so, what's the story on moving them somewhere else? I'd probably have a professional trap them, but I don't want to leave the poor things to some terrible fate. It's not their fault, about the pool.
+flyinspirals Woodrow is such a cute name. and so is Wilhelmina
+flyinspirals Trapping at this time would not
be a humane solution. Here, the babies do not
disperse until late July or early August although
they may be using other burrows in training. Your
female that has been there for over 4 years may
or may not be the same one. We have been
observing them since 2003. They have burrows
under our decks, shed, in our barn, and in other
areas around our property. It would be difficult
for me to advise you as I really can't see your
property but I can tell you what we do. Just watch
and inspect. We have a crawl space under one
room of our home and no groundhog has entered
that space. Our shed is still standing as is our
barn and decks. Have you seen a burrow hole
going under the tile walk? There are methods
you can use to protect. You might check out
the Humane Society suggestions in their
article "What to Do About Woodchucks".
I have a Facebook page where I have regular
updates on our chucks.
facebook.com/woodchuck.wonderland
Can you post some more observation videos please, unedited footage would be fine too
I wonder what happened to Gregory
im jealous. I wish we had those cuties in my country but we only have hedgehogs, rabbits or possums
+Davemilly M Hedgehogs are cute. We
also have rabbits and possums as well as
raccoon, red fox, wild turkey etc. Glad to
hear you like our groundhogs!
hi there
you can find these things by the thousands in fields of Alberta and Saskatchewan
Perhaps you could enlighten us all with your data on population statistics of Marmota monax in the areas you mention. How many woodchucks would be found in a square mile? By 1950, the woodchuck had been nearly extirpated in areas of Wisconsin, U.S.A.. Decrease in population was determined by comparing occupied holes in the same area 50 years apart.
Lol, 6:04 ~ 6:14
What a beautiful space God has created and you care for. Your privileged to have such good friends to share it with and your friends share the same privilege. My neighbor came to my house one day and asked me to kill a ground hog that was living on my property because he claims it was eating his garden. lol I said no of course. I showed him the hole and told him that if he would kind enough to share maybe the groundhog wouldn't bother his garden any more.
They really enjoy dandelions and clover too.
I always thought they were cute and I would tolerate some lost plants because of it. They have now become too destructive as they look to my garden as a main food source so they got to go. Got rid of 3 in the last week.
We hear these kinds of complaints from others. Usually the person has taken no preventative measures before babies are born. Some trap the babies and move them before they're prepared to live away from their parent(s). Or they kill them. The next year, they repeat the process. Where we live in Michigan, babies remain in their natal territory til the end of July or even into August. Then most, or all, juveniles will disperse.
We have been observing groundhogs on our property for over 15 years with hundreds of hours of video and tens of thousands of photographs documenting their behavior. We also observe other garden raiders like deer, rabbits and even birds. Still we manage every year to have lush flower gardens. The groundhogs here have burrows under both our decks, in our barn which is close to our house, under our shed, and in the woods. The babies will eat close to the natal burrow until they begin to travel to the other territory burrows. They eat a variety of vegetation including grasses, dandelions, clover, and wild plants. They also climb trees and sometimes eat the leaves or fruit from trees.
On our property, we protect some plants with small fencing. We use deterrent sprays around newly planted flowers. If there is a burrow hole in a problematic location, we fill it with rocks or bricks and dirt when it's not occupied. In over 15 years, we've not had any significant damage and haven't had to remove any of our resident groundhogs.
@@chuckland2009 how does one take preventive measures before babies are born?
I love nature and wildlife, but cant afford for wildlife to be destructive to my property.My situation is that the ground hog issue is coming from a property next door...empty home for two years. There has been a resident ground hog that has been eating my plants for five years....he lives under the porch of the house next door. Apparently it paired up with another hog and had babies. The babies combined with the adults have totally destroyed my garden. The adults waited until my sunflower plants for about 4 feet tall and then chopped them all down like Paul Bunyon. I have never seen such damaging animal behavior.
So I am curious as to what an alternative would be instead of trapping and removal. Any advice will help. Maybe there are less food sources in my area than at your place. I live in the heart of the city.
@@thinktankindi2664 City behavior in groundhogs can differ from rural behavior. They travel less distance and have fewer burrows than in rural areas. The fact that the groundhogs live on a vacant property is a problem since you probably wouldn't have permission to take preventative measures on that property. So you will have to concentrate on what you can do on your property.
First of all, groundhogs aren't the only critter attracted to sunflowers and it's doubtful they are the only one feeding on your sunflowers. Other critters might include insects, a variety of birds, bats, mice, deer, squirrels, rats, chipmunks, voles, raccoons and rabbits. One person reported squirrels would climb the stalks and eat the immature flower for the seeds, and sometimes bite the stalk in half to get the flowers. This is one link about protecting your sunflowers from squirrels that may also help with groundhogs.
www.wikihow.com/Protect-Sunflowers-from-Squirrels
Some methods of repelling groundhogs include use of smelly repellents and pepper sprays, epsom salts, fences and screens, and motion devices like pinwheels and windchimes. When we fill in groundhog holes that are in problem areas, we have also used human urine and used cat litter.
Just sharing an experience we've had here. Over winter, we had no hibernating groundhogs in our barn which is the hibernating burrow in the area we observe. Without groundhogs occupying the burrows, we had at least four skunks and multiple raccoons living in our barn. It seems our groundhog lineage has gone extinct. We are now watching to see if another groundhog might take up residence. So far we have several chucks who have been visiting and maintaining the burrows. Though none are actually living here, their visits give other critters the impression the burrows are occupied. I will welcome a new lineage of groundhogs. I would much rather have them in the barn than skunks and raccoon families.
I hope some of these suggestions help. If you would like, you can check out my Facebook page, Woodchuck Wonderland, and website
www.woodchuckwonderland.com
i got a gun pow
There cute n cuddly till they get in your garden, nuff said.
If you look at my videos, website, or FB page, you will see our gardens
here are lush. We have groundhogs, deer, rabbits, raccoon, red fox...all
of whom eat some.
I so wish they'd stop burrowing under my damn garage. I've killed entire families of these things... :(
Entire families? Babies where I live in Michigan are born in April. They emerge from the natal burrow sometime in mid-late May. Where I live in Michigan, most or all babies leave the natal territory by late July or sometime in August. They go into hibernation sometime in late October or in November. There is plenty of opportunity to close up any problem holes before babies are born or before they go into hibernation. There are also preventative measures you could take.
@@chuckland2009 - Yep. I think I got at least a parent and two babies. I want to say it was around June of 2013, or 2014 the last time I got that many.
I'm in MI too.
@@danlc95 Let me see if I understand what you are saying. You take no preventative measures, don't fill in problem holes, kill mother and babies and complain. Is that about it? Sounds to me like you just like to wait for an opportunity to kill and use the excuse about your garage in order to do so.
@@chuckland2009 - I can see how it looks that way, but I'm not a fan of the practice.
Can you point me in the direction of preventative measures?
Possibly how to backfill the holes?
@@danlc95 The Humane Society offers some suggestions. Some I agree with and some I don't.
With regard to holes, I don't know your environment or how long the hole/burrow has been in existence. John Griffin, Humane Wildlife Services, stated you would have to have a lot of woodchucks working over a lot of years to create tunnel systems that would pose risk to any structure.
I can tell you what we do. First, there are holes/burrows that we allow. For problem areas, we first make sure that the burrow is not occupied before beginning fill in work. One year we had several holes that were dug in the middle of our barn. We used an air blower to determine which holes were connected. We use rocks and/or bricks, pushing them down into the hole as far as possible. We then add dirt. It may seem odd but we also add human male urine to the dirt as it is added into the hole. Every hole we have filled in with this method has not been re-dug.
Some holes are filled in as soon as they are noticed. Others are left til September or October. We know the burrows that are used for hibernation and since they aren't in a problem area, they are left intact. There are other burrows used during the season that are also left intact. Many of the new holes dug are done by learning juveniles.
We recently filled in a hole that was dug under our deck next to our basement wall. We also used carpenter's cloth to prevent digging there. We didn't prevent them for using space under the deck with exception to the area closest to the house.
We've been observing and documenting the behavior of groundhogs who reside on our property for over 15 years and have not had the need to kill any of them. When you kill a mother in June, you leave any babies you haven't killed without a mother. Babies remain in the natal area learning from their parents until late July or into August. Several burrows are used in this process, including the burrow they were born in. For more info, you might find my website of interest. www.woodchuckwonderland.com
I hope this information is helpful and encourage you to take measures to resolve your problem without killing. I suspect that if you would spend some time watching them, you might find them to be very interesting creatures. :)
I kept yelling, "Shoot! SHOOT!!"
Gregory was found dead by the roadside with tire marks on it's body rip 😥
No, he wasn't found dead by the roadside. To the best of our knowledge, Gregory's territory didn't extend to the area near the road.
