A ground hog and an AK

Why rig it up to the alarm clock? With all the extra cords, he could have baited a large pan of water. The motion sensor goes off...bzzzzzt!

How about a hunting ferret down each of the ground hog holes. One ferret may have problems with a ground hog but a team of them should do O.K. Hopefully, the ferrets will out number the ground hog (s) as you don't know how many are down there.

Napalm? (Dissolve styrofoam pellets in gasoline, dump down the hole, toss in a match).
 
Animal stories are funny because they put us back in our place. Which isn't nearly as smart as we claim we are.

Uncle Bill, last I heard, the gunshop on Plumb Lane still had those flamethrower rounds. They're supposed to go 30 to 50 yards. If you were mean enough to singe a ground hog naked. Put up a lemonade stand and sell tickets to see the naked groundhog. ROTFLMA"U%ICGU ( ecxuse the sspelling= laughing so hard tears in my eyes.

Well we've had trouble with a dayum-ed mole lately.
I can just imagine what baby mole was thinkin when I was pokin a 15" AK where daddy or mommy mole was pokin up the dirt under the mulching at the front of our house.
Probably somethin about a mad Indin and his big knife is gonna do my kin harm!!
I bet he was smellin more than moleasses.:-)

Yup!! I saw the little varmint start pushin the dirt up and I slipped in the house and got the 1st available khuk, a 15" AK. I snuck back out and proceeded to stab the ground in the proximity of where mole was pokin up the mulch.
I thought I had got him/her and cleaned off the AK and the dayum-ed mole started it again. I am reasonably sure I got the mole the 2nd time around as there hasn't been any new signs of any moleworks happenin the last couple of days.

Yvsa, I remember grandpa using a sort of mole killer that was a spike. It was a deal that had a weighted box with a spike heading down out of the bottom. The mole tripped a lever located right under the spike. The box of rocks fell and stabbed the mole. Did the Cherokees have such a method. Maybe this WAS the Cherokee method for all I know.

Reminds me of the time my dad was working on the Alaska Highway during WWII and they just "happened" to have an extra case of dynamite on hand. It also was a time that the workers were getting a bit tired of the standard camp food. My father and a friend got the idea to go down to the nearby Liard River (in northwestern B.C., Canada) to do some "fishing". They realized that they had a problem in that using rod and reel would not get them enough fish to feed all the construction workers in camp. Dad, being that stretch of road's supply manager, conveniently remembered the extra case of TNT. So he and the friend moved it down to the river and set up a 20 second fuse on this wooden box of TNT. The fuse was lit, the box pushed out into the river, and they quickly headed for cover. None too soon as there was a tremendous explosion and there were dead and stunned fish all over the place. They managed to fill the box of a Ford Truck and went back to camp and fish was on the menu for the next two weeks before it finally ran out.

I wonder if dropping a stick of TNT down a woodchuck hole would produce comparible results?

As it happens, Harry, the only places I know of that fireworks can be bought legally in Nevada happen to be the smokeshops run by the tribes.

Ahh, it's good to hear you brother. I've missed you the past several days.

And here I wuz thinkin I hope this thread don't offend the Indin, and you're out there with the AK. LOL
 
Well this thread is too hillarious to pass up.

I have been roflmao just reading it. I especially like the napalm idea. Nothing like creative new methods of ridding ourselves of fury little varmits that have turned into problems. I prefer a good .22. You might try using shorts from a rifle they are usually not so loud. A .22 or.177 caliber Benjamin pellet rifle(Wal-mart hs them) would probalby work too. And of course the crossbow or bow idea also sounds good. What about setting up an overhead falling spiked log or something, so when he pokes his little evil head out drop the spikes and voila...swiss cheese. The ideas involving fire definitly get my attetion though...and with 4th of July just around the corner you should be able to a large qauntity of adeqaute fire works. Maybe a few roman candles(rockets) or some M-80's. thinking about cadyshack and all the c4 he used is really making me laugh...well I don't have any new Ideas but i vote for fire...fire...fire(thinking of Beavis back before they started getting censored)

P.S. gott my first WWII 18" this week. Thanks Uncle Bill it is awesome...tested it on a couple 1-2" branches out back and went through them like a hot knife through butter. Can't wait to find some bigger trees to whittle on.

 
Cris, this is a funny thread and we've all gotten laughs from it. I do everyday.

Your spiked log idea is similar to what my grandpa used.

Keep us posted on the WWII model and what it will do for you.

Trap it. Traps work while you play.

Ron Hood ( http://www.survival.com/ ) has a video on trapping that concentrates on marmots. (Mountain groundhogs.) If you want you can get a supplementary video by his wife Karen showing you how to prepare and eat it after you kill it. She also has some good recipies for rat, grub, etc.

Ron's motto is, "If you kill it, you have to eat it." Sounds a lot like what my dad used to say.
 
There is absolutely NO WAY I'm going to eat the roaches and ants in my apartment, thank you very much...
After I kill 'em, though, I can send 'em to whomever else out there wants to eat 'em.

The other day I prepared a northwest delicacy, slug roasted in the coals of a campfire. It was actually pretty good. I had more hunger than I did slugs. But they're mollusks and may be acceptable to clam and oyster eaters.

Now insects are a considerable proportion of the biomass on the planet. For many primitive peoples they were an important protein source. And many of them don't taste half-bad either. Modern people eat lobsters and crabs. Insects are not so far removed.
But I only eat insects and slugs that are known to be free from pesticides and chemicals, so I usually obtain my own. Thank you for the offer though, Tom.
