    Woodchucks......damm woodchucks. We trapped one last year under the pile. They are cute, but they do a number when they dig holes. Mighty tasty too.

    We've had some of those around. One got in the house one night, I went to open a window in the dark, stepped on it, it hammered me, I jumped up in the air, came back down on it, and it hammered me again, same foot. o_O I can laugh about it now... :rofl: :lol:

    Gross picture alert.
    Stop now. I moved some dead wood and wanted to till and smooth the area. To my surprise, I looked back and saw this.
    First time I’ve ever saw it.
    I think it’s a vole but this will be my first time to see one. The tiller got him but dammed well if I know when or why as the tiller was only about an inch deep and I was creeping super super slow with the tractor to break virgin ground.
    No hair, smooth skin almost like a placenta sack.
    I thought voles were kinda like hamsters or moles with hair.

    Weird. Voles aren't as big as your foot though. That's looks like a big rat or small wood chuck

    I didn’t find this bugger in the stacks - but along the side of the dirt road today. It was big. Maybe the size of a 50 cent piece. No idea what it is. Never seen one before. I let him be. My 70 pound dog was freaked out by it:rofl: :lol:

    Voles are the same size as mice as my cats used to catch them all the time. Looks like a rat to me.

    Looks like a common garder snake to me, that's what we call them. Not poisonous

    Eastern hog nose snake. Interesting snake, if flattening their head and hissing doesn't scare you off, they'll roll over belly up and pretend to be dead. They're harmless.
