Sure wish we had groundhogs down here...
Damn man. Washington county really does sound like a sportsmans Hell . The deer are about wiped out , Turkey are hard to come by , waterfowl hunting is mediocre, and coyote killed the groundhog out...and probably rabbits to . If its that bad I'd be packing my family and moving somewhere with some critters.

It's still home, so I ain't going anywhere. But yes, the rabbits are few and far between these days TOO. Ask around, I'm not Chicken Little'n it. The deer population has been on a steady decline, turkeys are actually plentiful, waterfowl is decent if all you want to kill is geese, and we don't have groundhogs or rabbits in near the numbers we had a decade ago.
