If you want to pay a fee, the wildlife people (don;'t know the exact title) will trap them and take them away. We live in a small city so we can't shoot them (don't have anything to shoot them with anyway). We tried traping them but had no luck. They came in and set 5 traps and when we had them all a couple of hours later they came and got them to relocate. This is a pic of the 4 babies - mom was out eating the garden. Mom was the first one to walk into the trap and the babies soon followed. 5 woodchucks in a garden caused a lot of damage. They lived under our storage shed and my gardens were their main source of vegetation. After they left we filled up the holes with cement. We never did find the second hole but it helps if you know where both of them are. Eleanor
