Plant soybeans or alfalfa on your property to encourage them
Driving around and looking at soybean and hay fields was how I located groundhogs in the Sequatchie Valley of East Tennessee during the sixties and seventies. I still drive around today, but there are no chewed down fan shaped areas in the beans. When the coyotes moved in here in the eighties, groundhog populations almost disappeared. Today the only groundhogs are found in kudzu cut banks along highways and around buildings too close to houses for coyotes to hunt.
