Groundhogs?

[GlassEyeJones]

Somebody , i forget which post, mentioned shootin ground hogs in GA - yall ever seen em? I haven't, but would love to find a few!

Just about any kudzo patch in ga has them..

There are plenty up our way. I have lived in GA (Gwinnett/Cobb) for 30 years and never saw a wild groundhog until I moved to Lumpkin. Now I see them regularly at the side of the road... dead and alive.

How far south in Georgia is their range? We don`t have em down here.

If I'm not mistaken, SecondSeason's first bowkill was a groundhog.

What exactly are they? Just big rodents? Like Nick said, we don't have em this far south and I'm further than him.

They typically do not come out during the day. They tend to come out early in the morning and late in the evening. Try to find retaining walls, and areas with a lot of kudzu. Like cmghunter said...look for kudzu and you should find them. Also keep your eyes out for burrows. They also love apples.

Good Luck!

Must be the red clay... I see tiny ones North of here. Nothing like the giants in PA hay fields.

pasture edges, kudzu, really any THICK vegetation you'll find a groundhawg up where i'm at. The ones that stay on the sides of the road are really not that scared of passing cars, they are REALLY easy to K.O.>>>especially if you got a dually.

Theres a family that lives in the kudzu on pilgram mill and 400. And they are huge!

All around Lake Allatoona off of Hwy 41 in the kudzu. Easy to see their burrows after the frost

I have a big grounhog that has a burrow under a pile of lumber in my barn in Walker County. About 18 years ago, while turkey hunting , I came up on a groundhog and was surprised to find out they can climb a tree as fast as a squirrel . I figured that I must have been between him and his den. I have read that they are good to eat, since they eat grass and kudzu.
