Well they can be quite vicious and their bite packs a punch but...given the number of people that go out of their way to run them over around here, I'm with on the groundhog side.
There are people who hunt them -- apparently it's an open season. Hunters -- some drive up from the city -- go around to farms and ask the farmers for permission to set up and hunt in their fields...they shoot them....collect them for a count and dispose of them...that's it....Killing for the thrill of the kill...
Shubnecadie NS has a prognosticating groundhog...Shubnecadie Sam....Shubnecadie was one of the tragic locations of that evil little man.
I love seeing my first of spring...or watching a group of them in a field.
