Farmers in Dutchess, Columbia and Greene gave them a good punch in the '80's.
Was told about it firsthand from one of the biggest dairy men east of the Hudson.
The problem there now is not groundhogs, it is the invasion from 100 miles south.
You'd think farmers all over the State and even other States would have heard of it wouldn't you ? I don't recall any farmers worried about groundhogs enough to put much thought, money or effort into eradicating them. What kind of poison were they using and was it approved by DEC ? Seems like they'd have been worried about their precious raptors/scavenger birds eating poisoned woodchucks.
