If a woodchuck could climb wood, would a woodchuck.....

Yes.

Woody

She didn’t get a good look at it as she was in her car and spotted it moving to the base of the tree. When she pulled over, the next time she saw it was up in the tree. At first she thought it was a cat, but the pic convinced her it was something else.

Didn’t know woodchucks could climb trees. Learn something every day.

I guess woodchuck is proper but we called them groundhogs back when I was a kid in Kaintuck (I've heard that in some places they call them whistle pigs) and they are some mighty fine eating.

After I got them dressed my aunt would parboil them for short time (just the big older ones) then lay them whole on their backs in a baking pan and fill the chest cavity with sweet potatoes then cover with foil and bake them for 'X'.

I use to hunt them a lot as a kid had some on my property in town they will dig holes under anything they can find and they definitely climb trees

Definitely a wood chuck. Had one in the yard a couple of years ago climb a tree.

 

[MR.T.]

A couple years ago I shot a groundhog /woodchuck out of a tree. They climb very well.
Until that day, I too did not know that they climbed trees.

I actually had one in my front yard one day and I live in Ponca City. Only thing I could figure was it may have been evicted by some nearby dirt work for a new house. We have had deer, turkeys, possums, armadillos, snakes, foxes, and coons but, this was a first.
