[QUOTE="lewwetzel, post: 1660784, member: 21496"] As I’m an agnostic who doesn’t believe in “sky daddies”, the blathering of modern-day Elmer Gantrys, or luck, my only “dilemma” would be whether to take out a breeding female or not. Here in the once-great state of Ohio, groundhog numbers aren’t what they used to be, and now I’m more conscientious about leaving some for seed. Is this your land, or a farm where the owner won’t notice or care if you, uh, occasionally “miss” one? As stated above, Mama’s chances of living many more years are getting slimmer. (By the way, it seems unusual in my experience for a ‘hog to stay in one den for so long.) In this case - as long as the pups are self-sufficient - I’d take her out. A well-placed bullet would mean a more humane end than possibly having her eyes pecked out by black buzzards, or eaten while half-alive by a mangy coyote. [/QUOTE]
