Cut a green sapling and trim the end where there is a stub of a limb near
the tip end. push this down the hole till you encounter the ground hog and
start twisting. the limb stub will twist into the fur on the ground hog and
you can pull him out of the hole and knock him in the head with something .
Skin it out and clean it and cut it up boil through a couple of waters to
get rid of the strong smelling grease then batter it and bake it in the
oven. Coat the flesh side of the hide with fairly wet hard wood ashes and
let it soak for 3 or 4 days this will loosen the hair folicles. slip out
the hair and nail the hide up on a board or the side of a shed and let it
dry for several days. a well tanned ground hog hide makes a good banjo head
or failng that cut it into strips for shoe strings. Its makes good tough
shoe strings

To let them eat into your profits for lack of how to handle the problem
isn't to bright....good luck. Franklin
You are quite correct in this comment sir, which is exactly why I am
looking for suggestions on the list serve. Perhaps I will be brighter
later.
ps-I did say that this project is inside a county forest preserve, so
although I am not against shooting the rodents, the park district frowns on
guns.
