That's what Bella did, she tree'd him. At first glance I thought it was a big old squirrel.
It also helped me ID some tracks that I saw by the chicken coop. (I thought they were possum)...
He'll be fine as long as he doesn't come near the house.

I've seen a blue million groundhogs in my time, but never one in a tree.
Amazing so many have,
Cool photo Tracey.

Well, I went and did a google for controlling woodchucks, and Tracey, I was surprised to learn that "the woodchuck is the largest member of the squirrel family, of rodents" so no wonder them buggers can climb trees, dang I didn't know they were a fat old tree rat,mike

Yeah, "fat tree rat", and my beef supplier says they barbeque up real nice. Who'd of thunk it.
