Several months ago we had a woodchuck take up home in the backyard. He had burrowed under an old slab of concrete that I’m sure was once a patio. I was told by the better half he was cute and OFF limits. It really wasn’t a big deal. I was planning on doing a deck over that old patio anyway and chucky really wasn’t bothering anything. Fast forward to now. Deck is done and my wife caught ole chucky on the patio table eating all her plants 😂😂. She put a bounty on his head now. Lmao. She took a pic of him on the table. I will have to have her send it so I can post it here. Anyone else’s sig other ever have a change of heart about backyard “pets”?

Will probably have to use the 22 up here by the house. I guess a headshot is in order with only 18gr pellets.
He is a peculiar critter. Never in my life did I know woodchucks climbed trees. We have a tree in the backyard with these red berries all over and I’ll be damned if he doesn’t climb that tree like a squirrel 🐿 to eat those berries.

Yupper!

My wife started gardening two years ago and she was adamantly against pesting but as animals eat her plants, scare her and poop around here plants, she allows more and more pesting.

I often pest without her knowledge, she benefits from the results and I get to do some hunting.

That’s hilarious. My wife is the same way, off limits until something of hers is messed with than it’s a bounty 😂

Had a squirrel eating our porch furniture once. I took one of the chairs out back and waited. Sure enough. 16gr hades moving at 900+ fps cleared his mind of any further thoughts on that matter. Made pretty decent dinner for me and the dogs later and the wife was happy to be rid of him. Thought it was comical I ate him and she still tells that story. Not like he was the first or last one I'll eat.
