Woodchuck elimination
Original Message   May 1, 2005 10:24 pm
Hi gang. My next door neighbor has a problem with woodchucks that have taken up residence under her front porch.
Besides the obvious answers of shooting them which is out because of the proximity to the house, or trapping them and relocating them,(or then shooting them  LOL), anybody have some other suggestions as to getting them out of there. Any info
is appreciated.

How about letting a hungry dog or snake in there?

Varmit Kong.  Very good paula!!!

Paula's right.  You need to get in that dudes pelt and crawl around for a lil while.  Think like a woodchauck, act like a woodchuck, and if ever possible, to look like one.

On a serious note.  Grab a good pellet rifle.  You can p/u a 1,000 fps rifle for about 90 bucks these days w/ a scope.  Dial that baby in, and eliminate him.  Should be plenty to take down a wood chuck.

LMAO.  Somehow I knew this thread would take a comic turn.
Paula, The Bill Murray pic is classic. Love that movie.
Bill, I do have a CO2  pellet pistol, but doubt that would do it.
Keep em coming

Yeah you need more than a CO2 pistol shootin max 450 fps.  If $100 bothers ya, pick up an ever reliable Crossman pump rifle.  Cost ya probably $39 for the power master, pump the crap outa of it and get about 850 fps.  Personally I would rather spend the $100 get the 1000 fps pellet rifle, one pump only, but thats me I'm lazy.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................

mothballs work on a temporary basis....................

human waste keeps them from using that entrance , but the obvious smell ................

they usually have more than 2 tunnel entrances ,

they have a trap that fits in the tunnel opening with a spike to kill them....................triggered when they come out............

shame its under a porch...............we use kero in the hole to chase them out after its lit...................then shoot them...........

pellet rifle only works inside of 20 feet..............and only an eye or ear shot does them in.................dont care who makes the rifle , they're damn near bulletproof everywhere else.........................

my 11 yr old likes to shoot them with a paintball gun, scares them away for awhile...................

ohhhhhh man.........all this advise makes me look like a serial murderer..............

living in the country is great , but comes with its share of pesky critters.........
