Gideon Gets His First Groundhog





The eat-out area in the soy field around this groundhog was so large I did not feel the slightest bit of hesitation about a mid-field dig despite the fact that the beans are still on. This fellow had made a virtual parking lot around his den site!

This field groundhog was initially located by Mountain, but Mountain never reached it due a turn in the pipe,and a lot of debris pushed back into the pipe by the groundhog.

After sinking a hole and clearing out the debris, Gideon bayed and bolted it, and he came away without a scratch.

I walked the groundhog over to the edge of the field where the fox patrol, and left it right next to a bit of fox scat. It will not last long as the fox too are bulking up in preparation for winter.
