How Much Wood Could a Woodchuck Chuck If a Woodchuck Could Chuck Wood?

(The woodchuck shown above I saw in a yard other than my own but it could be a cousin of the woodchucks driving us crazy right now.)

Hello Dear Blog Peeps....

I know nothing about woodchucks (also known as groundhogs) except that they are:

1) A real pain to have around

2) They are impossible to get rid of

Okay, dear blog peeps. I need your input.

We have been bombarded with woodchucks the past couple of years.

We've tried everything to get rid of these wild creatures.

Why?

Because they think think that everything planted is a smorgasbord just for them!

I even "planted" swirling pinwheels that go crazy with the slightest breeze.

Somewhere, I read they would scare the woodchucks away.  

They didn't and the woodchucks strut right by those pinwheels even when they are going full speed ahead!

We thought we had eradicated them with other means and then, the other morning, I looked out, and the fattest woodchuck I've ever seen was prancing around the backyard lawn.

Now this "kid" looked like a mini bear-----all fat and rolly poly.

As soon as I came out onto the back porch, the creature disappeared.

WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH WOODCHUCKS, IF ANY, AND HOW, IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN, DO YOU MAKE THEM MOVE SOMEPLACE OTHER THAN YOUR BACK YARD?
