What is the best BAIT to catch a Ground Hog?
Try a mix of peanut butter and sunflower seeds. I know it is not common feed for these critters, but it might work. I have done lots of mammal trapping in my life and I have even caught mink on peanut butter, so it might work for ground hogs too. Typically I would use lettuce, but if that wasnt working, try graham crackers, carrots, or other hard, long lasting things. Good Luck! I think you should try other mean of removign them instead of live trapping, which is illegal by the way, so keep it on the downlow.. Try detering them, by spraying them with the hose, or firing cap guns at them, even placing beach balls along their walk ways startles them. All of thes ethings can be purchased at the dollar store. Using products like critter ridder right in the hole can scare them off. Ro-PEL is another good product to spray on plants if you notice they are eating them. Moth balls down the hole works as well. Ammonia soaked rags can also deter them. Good Luck!
