An overpopulation of groundhogs can cause much damage in crop land or pasture fields sometimes causing domestic animals to break their legs when they step .unsuspectingly into a hole, or cause damage to , wheeled impkments and cutting bars. ' Groundhogs' ususallyhave 2-3 litters a year with 1-8 young in a litter. The young chucks usually begin to appear around the 24th of May and are easy prey for hunters, dogs, coyotc:S, fox and some raptors, but as the grass grows longer, and the young chucks develop, they become more wary. retdeSpite. • his manyenernies the woodchuck has survived and 'even thrived 'in agricultural areas where other creatures have failed. Each year the Ministry of ,Natural Resources receives' complaints from • lancownes•and other residents who voice -their disapproval of persons who bang dead groundhogs on farm fences. Residents disapprove of this practis6 and why shouldn't they. After all, it is not a pretty sight to drive through the country and look at groundhogs hanging on fences. Not only does this present. a poor image of the, sportsman, the carcasses also tend to rust and ea t the, wire, thereby ruining the 'fence., • Most farmers will welcome you on their farm and thank you for helping ,him keep the chucks under control, and all he asks in return is that we use a little common sense. Always driVe into the farmer's yard and ask his permission before you start to shoot. • There may be some reason why he doesn't want you to go into certain „fields .or he may direct .you to a field where he• is having problems. . . Always make sure of your, target before you . shoot, -and don't shoot towards livestock or' buildings. When you shoot a groundhog put it back in the• hole. If yOu see other hunters abusing their privileges report them' tb the .Ministry of Natural Resources or O.P.P., we are as 'close as your telephone. • Your cooperation and thoughtfulness 'today will assure you of a.Place to hunt tomorrow. .
