They are staying under a little storage building that has all but totally collapsed on our neighbors property. I do have permission to be on their property and no one lives there anymore. I have a couple cage type traps that I’ve used to catch coons and opossums. Not sure if the traps are big enough for an adult groundhog. These parents are Boone and Crockett size groundhogs. I have done some trapping but I am definitely not a professional.

Seriously! They love it. The first one we trapped was an older large groundhog and mean as all get out! He tried to bite us and pooped at us. We took him off and let him go in a wooded area. He climbed that trap and shot out so fast, I thought we were going to get bitten!!! The second one met my side by side .410. We decided we did not want to go through the trap business again . Way too stressful. Good luck. Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

He said he didn’t care. All the local yuppies thought it was cute and took pictures. Just glad he’s out from under my driveway.
