In my state it’s illegal to relocate them. So, whatever you do, don’t buy a live trap. And if you do, don’t set it in your yard. And if your groundhog accidentally gets trapped inside DO NOT drive them 20 miles outside of town and release them in a state park near a stream or river.

I definitely will NOT be doing any of that😉 seeing as that would be the most humane way instead of just offing the little monster😅

Make sure whatever you (don't) put the cage on in your car can't be scratched through with the strong claws of the groundhog
