We caught another woodchuck. This one was not as friendly, so I didn't bother taking pictures since it looked exactly like it's friend, just grumpier.
We're going to keep a running tally of woodchucks caught. This is two in three days, so I'm guessing we haven't seen the end of them.
A couple people have raised the question, in concern of the woodchucks, 'what if they have babies and you're taking away the mom?' Well, as we have discovered from the internet, woodchucks have their babies in April after mating in March. Supposedly, March is the best time to catch them because they're hungry enough to be enticed by bait, and it's early enough for them to redig a nest if they're pregnant. And no motherless babies.
More work on the barn and painting in the house tomorrow! We're also going to get tetanus shots. Pictures to follow!
