You are not going to catch and rehabilitate ground hogs. Real life game wardens will tell you
do not move them because there is no place that doesn’t already have a population of
ground hogs in Ohio and the introduction of new ones into an area cause problems such as the
spread of diseases and fighting. Also dairy, beef, and horse operations don’t want them because
of the holes that they dig causes animals to break their legs after which the animal will need
to be “put down.”

This one besides getting into my gardens was digging under my house and a shed too.
I might be a liberal but I’m not stupid and I don’t want a family of ground hogs living under
my house.
