It’s illegal to capture and transport a wild animal for release in Pa as it spreads diseases. Professional trappers are required to kill such animals.He has also utilized a neighbors shed .I figure one is his summer home.
Has anyone here had experience with these critters?
There are humane traps for them but if I trap him or her how far away can I take it so it does not come back.
NAFhavaheart live trap and then shoot it
I am up to 11 raccoons this year (they started to reside in my attic, though I catch them outside)
Had a massive guy live under a shed for years. Wife wouldn't let me kill him. Rarely showed himself...especially when we had 3 dogs...but when we were on vacation neighbors would report him sunning himself around the yard. Nothing but trouble...chewed into shed wood...not worth fixing so we tore it down. He then moved to my neighbors shed and apparently is still there. Save yourself the headache. Hire a pro and off the varmint!He has also utilized a neighbors shed .I figure one is his summer home.

It’s illegal to trap and transport for release any wild animal.I have a lot of experience trapping groundhogs and transporting them to a "safe" area. I use apples, cut in half this time of year. Bubblegum will also work. Make sure the trap door will work freely and there are no obstructions with the mechanism that operates the door. Once you trap the critter and are ready to transport it, make sure you put down cardboard in your vehicle under the trap. It will most likely poop while in transport. Take it AT LEAST 3 miles away. Groundhogs are able to find their way back if not taken far enough away. I usually take the ones I trap to a park or forrest out in the middle of no where. Make sure you point the door away from you when you release it! LOL!
No one gives a crap about this activity being illegal, especially for the movement of a groundhog to another location about 10 miles from his present location.It’s illegal to trap and transport for release any wild animal.
Just don’t wanna hear any whinng when he/she gets busted.No one gives a crap about this activity being illegal, especially for the movement of a groundhog to another location about 10 miles from his present location.
I can see the headline now: Six Members of Football Team Nabbed for Trapping/Transporting WildlifeJust don’t wanna hear any whinng when he/she gets busted.
Nothing is illegal unless you get caught.It’s illegal to trap and transport for release any wild animal.
I dont understand why people have such a hard on for killing animals. Just trap the bastard and drop him off in BFE. If you think a game warden is going to cite you for moving a nuisance animal you're high. Play stupid and they will just tell you to hire a professional next time. The odds of bumping into one while moving said animal is probably .1%. They tend to focus on things like poaching, dumping, illegal use of vehicles, maintaining public lands...you know...the small stuff
I also grew up on a farm and we used these when we didn't have time to sling lead.on the farm we used to take an old margerine dish (the old ones that were like 2 inches high and 4 inches wide) and dig a shelf in the entrance to their hold, then fill the dish with gas and place it on the shelf, then cover the entrance to the hole with dirt. worked most times. of course, we would also try to shoot them whenever we would see them out.

They can do a lot of damage to vehicles as well by chewing wires. Cost my brother hundreds to fix his van.He has also utilized a neighbors shed .I figure one is his summer home.
