It's the weirdest thing.
Junior said a couple of days ago he was up early and stepped out of his back door to see what the weather was like.
He just happened to see something disappearing up into his pick up truck from underneath.
Thinking it was probably a cat, he went over and banged on the hood a few times to try to get it to come back out. Nothing.
He went back in the house to get his keys to open the cab and pop the hood latch.
Then, he raises the hood and finds himself staring face to face with a fat groundhog.
After they looked at each other in stunned surprise for a few seconds, he put the hood back down and considered the options. He couldn't just leave it there. No one wants a groundhog living under the hood.
He didn't want to just try to coax it out,either. If it would continue climbing up in there it might eventually gnaw through wires or something to make it's self more comfortable.
So, he went back in the house and got his rifle, opened the hood, and shot it.
Different angle
We all asked him...
Did you damage your truck by shooting in there?
No, it appears to be fine.
Did you eat the groundhog?
No, but he can bring one for us to cook and eat.
Uh, no thanks!
Yes, it is a shame the animal had to die, but groundhogs can be a problem...digging large holes and tunneling in the yard, sometimes under foundations or concrete slabs...undermining and weakening them.
Never heard of them climbing up in a vehicle though.
