    Sorry I don't have a recovery photo but he ran under my barn. I'm sure I'll be smelling him soon. I've had several groundhogs in my yard and the other day I saw one chewing on my barn door. I set the blind up in the yard today and only had to wait about 5 minutes before he came out to dine on a canteloupe I threw out for him. 20yds shot and plenty of blood![​IMG]

    A head of lettuce is a good bait too for live traps.

    We found out last year they like zucchini. That’s what we baited our live trap with.

    G5. Small game heads and spine shots. Deadliest combo ive come across for groundhogs.
