OK, I have watched this for 11 pages now and kept my favorite Groundhog story to myself, but no longer.
My uncle Tony planted a garden behind his house. A very nice garden. When it started producing, guess who showed up for dinner.
You guessed it, Mr Groundhog.
Uncle Tony was having his morning coffee and smoke on the back porch when he saw the furry freeloader. Not amused at the critters presence, and wanting to protect his source of produce, Tony stepped inside and grabbed a 410 shotgun, took aim, fired and did little more than pepper some plants and scare away the groundhog.
The next morning, was a repeat performance with the groundhog once again escaping the blast of pellets, only to return then next day and repeat the process.
Tony was fed up now and devised his next plan. He set his alarm to get up before sunrise. sat cross legged at the opening of the groundhogs hole with the muzzle of the 410 pointed at the hole.
Tony sat silently with all the skill and patience of the great white hunter that he thought himself to be, waiting to dispatch the thieving beast.
As the sun began to peek over the horizon there was stirring from inside the hole, and then head of the groundhog eased into the light. For a very brief time, the groundhog stared at Tony and Tony at the groundhog as he gently squeezed the trigger. CLICK! Forgot to reload!
