Fortress Groundhog
A nice day in the field despite the wind and cold. I thought it was supposed to be spring?
Our second groundhog of the day was in the oak fortress pictured above -- a huge oak with only one hole in, and a vast divided space inside. We managed to dig another hole into the sette which gave Pip a little more air, but it was still very warm inside. After a bit of work a fair sized female (at least for this time of year when they have lost one-third of their weight) was accounted for.
The groundhog we took earlier in the day was driven to near an exit in a massive rubble pile of asphalt, and Mountain grabbed it.
A third groundhog was bolted out of one sette and into another, but we lost it when it dug in at the new sette.
