Looks like this fellow has been eating plenty of clover! I hope he doesn't find his way to our vegetable garden! A fence won't keep him out because he likes to dig holes. Because of his size (almost 2 feet long), he could destroy our garden pretty quickly.
Some people eat groundhog meat. I never have but I've heard it's greasy. I suppose a poor farmer might see justice in eating the groundhog who decimated his garden!
That little (big) critter looks well fed. Good shot.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have guess its 2 ft!!
ReplyDeletewhen I was a kid, I did tried squirrel meat without knowing what it is..dad bought it from a restaurant
I didn't know people ate them.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved ground hogs. My papaw hated them though lol he said they always ate stuff out of his garden :-)
ReplyDeletei've seen a blogger post about having to trap them because they decimated a whole corner of their corn field crop!
ReplyDeleteI don't like having those around. They really can do a lot of damage.
