It is my personal experience that there are only 3 things you can do with ground hogs;
#1) you live with them
#2) you shoot them for food-ONLY for food(good eating too!! there is a "how to" in farmer's ÃÛÌÒÁµÈË)
#3) fence them off.
============================
Fencing them off does not have to be expensive. In the farmer's almanac it says to put the fencing 10'' - 12'' in the ground...I say that is not enough...18" to 24" would be best, and if you are going to put fencing in the ground, it had better be a very strong type of fencing(IE:chain link is best).
Check around at fencing dealers & see if they have any chain link fencing they want to unload. Some times you can get this for free or super cheap.
My personal favorite way to deal with Ground Hogs is to have them for dinner. This keeps the Ground Hog population down, feeds the family & is good for the farm as a whole.
