Hey guys,
Any of you have a good population of groundhogs? I have some smaller sized Patterdales and Jack Russells that I would love to take on a fall digging trip. I dig a few here in extreme NE Mississippi but do not have a healthy population like we did years ago. I have a cabin that someone could stay at for free if they wanted to come hunt deer or trap fox or yotes.
Best regards,
Mudcat

Come on out to Utah and we'll throw your terriers in with my terrier and a couple hounds, and you'll have a hell of a time.
You're welcome whenever. We have rockchucks(Just like a groundhog), coons, badger and fox. I have a TON of ground to hunt.
It would be worth your gas money.
Take care. Mason

Anyone know if digging is legal in PA? I don't think it is. It is a shame...there are more groundhogs here than anywhere I have ever been.

This type of hunting is new to me. Could you describe it a little?
I'm guessing that you let the dog down a hole and then you dig it out. It doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun!

Thanks for the replies guys. Mason, I have been out west but did not get to hunt. I did not know you guys had rock chucks. Thanks for the invite may take you up on it one day. Musher, I let my dogs free cast most of the time. When one finds a hot sett they enter and I locate them by the transmitter on their collar. Same technology used to locate people in avalanches. Its usually a possum, chuck, coon or fox. I have just started hunting nutria as well. The dogs job is to keep the quarry in one spot till I get to him. My digs here average about 3.5 feet. So not all that deep. I have had one 8' that was tough. I will post a few pics later.
Best regards.
