 When I was looking for @co@ColtsFan I ran across a $70k jeep. That must be it, I about fell out of my chair seeing a $70,000 jeep but that makes a bit more sense.

the 70k isnt bad when you consider most that buy that jeep will add another minimum of 30-40k in extras

Call that the high school girl package around here. My FIL has one. I make fun of him every time

Relocating squirrels or trapping bunny for pet?

Rabbits roam here every spring/summer, first time discovering a rabbit hole in my yard though, after feeding she covered the hole with dry leaves.

GrateEggspectations

@Canugghead: Groundhog. There is a lot of wildlife where we are. Bunnies, toads, bats, squirrels of all types, etc. If I have even one window open during a conference call, people assume I keep birds as pets. 

Did you get rid of the rabbit? If so, I never saw your stew in the What Are you Chefing Tonight, Dr.? thread.

I almost bought a jeep back in December. The build quality seems to be much better but like
most cars nowadays they are way overpriced. No way I would pay $50k for a 4 door jeep let alone $70k. Even the rubicon's are about $15k-$18k overpriced. A top of the line jeep should cost no more than about $40k. There are cars worth their price tag but a jeep is not one of them.

I could be wrong, but according to consumer satisfaction reports I remember hearing on the radio last year, Jeep consistently ranks very low. 

I am not a hater; my brother in law owned a TrackHawk that I absolutely loved. 😁

I tapped a woodchuck in one of those.  It was burrowing under pole barn. Concrete had cracked as it sank into its network of holes.  Well I just put the cage into a 55 gallon trash can full of water.  Cage stuck out of the top of the can by  about 2 inches.  It was not humane.

Had been planning on taking it to a wooded area and letting it go free.

Groundhog. 

Back in the early 90’s me and a friend of mine trapped some groundhogs while working in Chillicothe, Ohio at Mead Paper on a boiler outage. We brought the groundhogs back to Mississippi and released them. I was hoping that they would thrive here. Guessing they did not as I have never seen a groundhog since releasing them almost 30 years ago.

I did that with rats that were eating up my garden.  Afterwards the stray cats got a meal.

I catch and then release on the other side of the interstate. If they make their way back they have earned it.

Storm drain pipes run under the interstate. Now around here sometimes this big drain pipes have Moccasins and alligators living in them. 

If I still had my boat I might take. them 10 miles off shore to Horn Island. Let them try to make it back from there.

I preferred poly tipped boat tails in 223, get them with some high velocity lead poisoning.

 Whistle pigs get a tap on the shoulder with a .17hmr around here, but if I live trap a racoon, cat, or possum I usually relocate.

Because grey squirrels are considered an invasive species (as opposed to the native red) they are officially a pest. If you trap one, it's illegal to release it. We have a tree filled garden in the middle of open fields, so don't often get squirrels and deal with them immediately if we do.

At the last house we had, I was able to play sniper from the loft of a small barn and take them out with a 17 WSM.  That was fun.  We had families of chucks burrowing throughout the property.  I also would mow with a .22 Lever action on my lap.  Dang those things are smart. I would try to fool them into thinking I was mowing.  It was kind of fun.  I have several bogey down photos I will not share.  My friend and I kind of had a competition going.

@Langner91 gotta love swype on the cell phone!

My first trash can was too small also. Led to an exciting escape when I tried to hold him down with a stick... I improved my tool and managed to send 8 to the next life one season. Imagine a wooden hand tamper with nails stuck through it. Now I have a 90 gal can provided by the borough, and no groundhogs.

Too many drowned woodchucks/groundhogs here, and no "Rodent and Fine Wine" threads to match.  I'm disappointed.

Drown some mice in a warm bath and voilà, souris vide.

Made my friend after all. The folks on the internet didn’t lie… he needed a few days to get used to the presence of the cage before he became brave enough to enter.
