Is there really any correlation between the GROUNDHOG and the first spring weather?
The Groundhog did not see his shadow this year, so it predicts an early spring. But I look at the long-range weather forecast and I dont see any warm-up in sight. In fact, the only time its forecast to be above freezing in the next 10 days is next Saturday (34 degrees).
Is there really any correlation between the Groundhogs shadow and the onset of spring weather?
Answer: Not really, with the way this past winter has been, winter will last for a while (sorry).. the only reason why the Groundhog didn't see his shadow was cause of the snowstorm over the area.

Should I bother to have the GROUNDHOG removed?
In the second time in approximately three years I have a Groundhog burrowing under my porch near the foundation of my home. It has been the exact same spot both times. Should I bother to pay an astronomical fee to have it removed or just let it be because apparently they will continue to come back?
Answer: Buy or rent a "Have-A-Heart" trap from a grain or hardware store. Groundhogs are herbivores and love fruits and veggies. They love cucumbers and melons and clover especially. You or the neighbors have any of that nearby? Cut up a nice dinner for the critter and place it in the trap, set the trap and place it at the entry hole of the porch. Ground hogs can travel underground up to 50ft. so it does have another exit hole. When you catch him, call the local animal control officer, you can get the number from the police station and ask that they remove it. In most places it's against the law for you to catch and release into another area. They are a member of the squirrel family and it would be ashame to kill him.

Should I kill the GROUNDHOG that keeps on eating my plants?

What is the best way to trap and/or kill a pesky GROUNDHOG?
My family has a nice family vegatble garden, which a certain Groundhog loves to help himself to. We have tried in years past to trap Groundhogs with little success. what else can we do?
Answer: Once you've determined that you have a pest problem with Groundhogs in your garden, you'll need to consider possible Groundhog control solutions, which include the following:
Frightening Groundhogs away from the garden with motion devices.
Discouraging Groundhogs with repellent smells or tastes.
Fencing Groundhogs out of the garden.
Bringing out the heavy artillery: tossing gas cartridges into the Groundhogs' burrows, etc.
Live-trapping Groundhogs as they exit their burrows and relocating them to an area far-removed from your garden (illegal in some states).
Option #4 above may be unacceptable in all but rural districts. Option #1 simply entails installing pinwheels or other devices around garden areas to frighten Groundhogs away (Groundhogs are timid, and the motion will bother them). In relation to this strategy, I should make note of a preventive measure you can take. In order to reduce the chances of having to deal with Groundhogs, deprive them of areas that have tall grass, tall weeds (such as Japanese knotweed) or brush piles; these will only serve as hideouts for Groundhogs, from which they can launch attacks upon your garden. Timid animals such as Groundhogs may never take up residence near your garden in the first place, if sufficient cover is lacking.
Groundhog Control With Repellent Smells or Tastes
Epsom salts can be sprinkled on the vegetation and fruits of your garden plants to render them foul-tasting to Groundhogs. The good news about this strategy is that Epsom salts will also help some of your garden plants to grow better. But the bad news is that rain will wash off the Epsom salts, meaning that you will need to make repeated applications. Another strategy that suffers from the same drawback is discouraging Groundhogs with foul-smelling agents such as ammonia. Ammonia-soaked rags can be strewn along the perimeter of your garden, forming a stinky barrier to repel Groundhogs. But even ammonia's smell fades eventually and a re-application will be necessary.
Groundhog Control With Fencing
Fences such as chicken wire fences can provide a more permanent solution to your Groundhog pest problem. Be aware of two factors, however: Groundhogs can climb over your fences, and Groundhogs can tunnel under your fences. To discourage the former, make your fences 3'-4' high. To foil Groundhog tunneling attempts, the University of Missouri Extension advises:
"The buried portion of the fence should be bent at a 90-degree angle, 1 foot below the surface, with the bottom of the fence pointing away from the garden. This design discourages burrowing if it is started at the fence line."
Such a fence can be supplemented with an electric hot-shot wire. Install the wire 4"-5" away from the fence, all along the outside. The electric wire should stand 4"-5" high.
For many gardeners, live-trapping Groundhogs as they exit their burrows is the preferred method of pest control. Page 3 deals in detail with live-trapping....

Can anyone please help me make a GROUNDHOGs Day cake?
I want to chop up circle and square cakes into the shape of a Groundhog for a belated Groundhog Day gathering. Has anyone ever made a Groundhog-shaped cake before who can give me some tips? I already have some toasted coconut for the Groundhogs fur. Should I use chocolate or vanilla frosting? There must be someone out there who has made a Groundhog shaped cake. Please help me out. Itll be an easy 10-pointer.
Answer: Okay, this is what you do. Make two round cakes (8 inch). Chocolate. Cut one with a bit of a "slope" in it, sit this piece on top of the flat cake,for the body. Use a left-over edge for the head. Cut four round bits for the paws? or hands? You get the idea. Hersheys kisses for the eyes. Choco. frosting, good idea on the coconut, by the way, choco chip for the nose. I would use bits of pretzel sticks for claws, and little sticks around the plate. It should be CUUUTE. And fairly easy, the coconut and pretzels camoflauge mistakes fairly well.

Answer: Although they tend to be expensive (unless you can find some on eBay), they make sensors that you stick into the ground that emit a low frequency sound that will drive them away. I have never found anything that really works, unless you want a snake around... Just kidding. These stakes work really well, but like i said, they can get expensive.

What happens to all the dirt a GROUNDHOG excavates for its tunnels?
When a Groundhog digs a hole in my field, there is a small pile of dirt at the entrance. But I know that they create extensive networks of tunnels. So where does all of that dirt go? Im sure that they remove a lot more dirt than they pile at the entrance to their hole. Since many of the tunnels are deep, it doesnt make sense that they just push their way through, forcing the dirt to rise above their tunnel like a mole.
Answer: It gets all piled up around the opening.
They back up after a while and the loose dirt is scooped back with them as they exit backwards
