We had one living in the scrub a number of years ago but I think that may have been the same one that got hit by the cop car at the airport because nobody saw it here again. In those days you could get from here to the airport and never really get out of the woods by following the FPL right of way to 41 and then going through the vacant land north of the Alico rd industrial park. The new gated communities north of me west of 41 pretty much cut off that woods tho. There is still a lot of vacant land north of Alico tho. |

If they have the chance they'll do more than merely bite. They'll maul you... Our pet porker was about 150lbs when he got turned into bacon.

I guess so that is if squirrel is classsd as a ?race? Only the furry animals with the black eye shadow and a ringed tail. I have an ex-friend who told me he goes out to a field in southern Maryland to shoot groundhogs and other small critters. Not critters that are pestering any not really on a higher evolutionary scale than "hooomans," but just living their little animal lives. Disgusting. He was *your* friend. He was 'disgusting' only after he told you he went varmint hunting? I am not sure I understand all varmint hunting but if they are really there to limit the population of rodents because they have killed all of the natural predators, it makes some sense. Arizona's Senoran desert is an excellent example. They were diligent in killing all of the rattlesnakes and now the rodents are destroying the iconic century old Saguaro cactus. If guys want to sit in the desert with their 5.5 Creedmores and pick off rats, good on them. Groundhogs and nutria have become a nuisance ever since we did in the predators. Hunting them is quite legal: http://www.eregulations.com/maryland...ng/furbearers/ Nutria And Woodchuck The nutria and woodchuck (groundhog) are classified as ?unprotected mammals.? As such: A hunting license is not required to hunt woodchucks and nutria except in Baltimore County. Woodchucks and nutria may be hunted throughout the year, including Sundays. Hunters must wear fluorescent orange while hunting woodchucks. All hunting devices legal for other game animals may be used to hunt woodchucks and nutria. If that is actually what they are shooting, I agree it is helpful. Harry is assuming they shoot everything that moves. To be honest I never saw a wood chuck in Maryland and I didn't even know you had nutria up there. Of course deer were few and far between there over 40 years ago too. (the last time I hunted) Five years later I saw 2 on the Whitehurst freeway and 20 years later they were thick at my ex wife's house in Clinton so it is clear things are changing. We camp down at Solomon's Island frequently, and the hogs have overrun the place. If I go for a walk around the whole campground, I'll surely see three or four every time. This doesn't count all the ones I don't see! Wait that can't be true. Harry told me there are no hogs down there. I find it hard to believe there are actual hogs running around on that mostly cleared and built up recreation area, unless a couple of Vietnamese potbellied pigs got loose. Wait...Herring claims he "camps" down there? "Camps" in his motel room on wheels? He RV's down there...he ain't camping. Actually, Harry, we were talking about groundhogs, often referred to simply as 'hogs' once in a discussion. Perhaps reading for content would help. Right. I should have said 'glamping'. Did the tent bit with motorcycles. Now we're into glamorous camping. Your camping counts as, well... camping. "Camping is an outdoor recreational activity. The participants leave urban areas, their home region, or civilization and enjoy nature while spending one or several nights outdoors, usually at a campsite. Camping may involve the use of a tent, caravan, motorhome, cabin, a primitive structure, or no shelter at all."
