Found out what was digging up and eating the plants in my garden. Mr. Woodchuck.
Yesterday evening found a Woodchuck had made a burro under my garden shed. I set a "have-a-heart" trap in front of the hole positioned so the only place he could go was the trap. No bait necessary.
I don't like to kill anything so this is the way to go.
Checked the trap before breakfast and sure enough caught the critter. Took him due south on my road for about a mile and released in a wooded area. A couple of years ago released 2 Chucks in the same place after ruining the garden.
Release of Mr. Woodchuck Video ....
There may be more around, so will keep my eyes opened.
