Well IF we could still play with Dynamite a half stick stuff down the hole and back filled would do the trick nicely and hardly shake the dust off the rafters and the hole would colaps and no more ground hog and NO SMELL. We had a problem ONCE with a ground hog that was cleaning out a garden and there was no way to shoot him due his hole next to the road and there was no way to shoot other directions due to houses . AFTER replanting five times it was time to evict said mr. ground hog and we had some of them red sticks i cut one in half stuffed a cap in it and shoved it down the hole as far as i could and shoveled in dirt and tamped it a bit hooked the wires to it and moved back about a hundred feet and set it off . The ground raised up maybe two three inches and setteled back down and ya only heard a wooof no huge boom no broken winders as the house was about a 150 feet away no broken dishes no pictures off the walls and NO MORE GROUND HOG , Well this went well so lets do in GROUND HOG #2 that was under the chicken coop . did the same thing with the other half stick and never even broke the winder above the hole . Oh and one thing we have learned about getting close to ground hogs is ware a dark green long sleeve shirt and a dark green hat and stay as low as ya can and move slow . A 22 CCI mini mag hollow point works well at up to 100 yards . In the field i carry my Rugar 22 mag pistol and it is good out to 100 yards and here again hollow points. Now also what might work is maybe a M 100 firecracker stuffed down the hole with a long fuse .

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
