Ground Hog Day

While we are on the topic of weird animal occourances, ever see a squirrel get electrocuted from running across the power lines? red sad, felt sorry for the little dude.
 
Ok, here goes ...

I predict ... an early spring but till then, coldern a witch's bosom in a brass boustier.

Indeed, WPs can shinny up trees very easily and quickly. I've seen many do it. It's true 69er! Honestly. Woodychucks is kin to squirrels.

And on that note, and having just had some ground groundhog @ a wild game dinner last p.m., my first, after harvesting thousands of these rodent rascals over the years, I'm with you 69 ... fine wine. And forget the critter meat. Not so hot, imo.
 
Now I have something to talk about at the super bowl party tonite. I think southern ground hogs are too fat to climb a hill, much less a tree.
 
It is amazing how much misinformation is promulgated on the internet. I googled "groundhog climb tree" and there must be hundreds of sites where this BS is being spread as the truth.

I think I will stick with squirrels on power lines. That I have seen. Chip, once they fall of, do you hummerize them before cooking or do you use either jamz or RetNavs method of tenderizing them?

There you are Whistle Pig.... wondering if you scrambled back into that hole. You are probably right about your prediction - pretty cold here the next few days, for sure. Gonna be near zero here.

As for groundhogs climbing trees:
Some people have a very hard time admitting they are not the fountain of knowledge they think they are :wink: - haha

Whether it be squirrel or groundhog - I am all for throwing out the stew and drinking the wine!:thumb:

The internet consensus of misleading articles, for what it is worth, is that if the tree is large enough and fallen at enough of an angle such that it is nearly parallel to the ground, and the GH is scared enough, that it may waddle 8'-10' up the tree in a perceived attempt of self survival.
 
Pretty boring super bowl, i shoulda done something else, zzzZZzzZZZZZzZZz
