Had an uncle that lived way out in farm country. He would come home from work and take a walk through the fields behind his house every evening for 30 minutes. Always carried his S&W K22 masterpiece with him. More often than not he brought back a ground hog, which my aunt would cook up the next evening for supper. If we visited them between Memorial day and Columbus day, the meat was usually ground hog. Sometimes baked, sometime grilled, occasionally stewed with carrots and taters.

I never knew him to hunt any other animal.

Ain't had no groundhog in many years---- but maybe soon. Is ramps up in WV---- seems too early yet.

When I was stationed at Ft Indiantown Gap a LONG time ago, I had a little Dixie-style "country rifle" in .36 caliber.
According to the (then) Post Regulations, a BP firearm wasn't "a deadly weapon" & could be legally fired in the cantonment area.
(And as the groundhogs did a LOT of damage to the building foundations, we BP hunters were "invisible" to the DoD Police, too.)

LOTS of groundhogs there & we ate a lot of BBQ young groundhog, too. = TASTY.

yours, satx

Ground hogs are scarce around here since the coyotes moved in around 20 year ago. Ramps not until late April. Earlier this year as no winter to speak of yet. Green grass and 50 degrees today.

We used to call them "whistle pigs" when I was growing up. Young, properly prepared and cooked like pork, they are indeed TASTY!

You can have the ramps. No one here in central PA even knows what they are. But around the end of March if you visit W. VA, nearly everybody has a garlicky body odor. I rarely eat onion although I do like fresh leeks added to soups and stews.

I'd rather eat grits.

If you want to learn about RAMPS just visit Richwood WV in the spring.
