I know we have coons here I haven't seen any yet. I'm still working on getting rid of wood chucks. My live trap has caught 6 rabbits so far and zero chucks.

As someone on another board once told me regarding rain..or lack of it.."Boy you just ain't livin right"...We barely got a spit and a sputter out of that storm. The news anchors gave dire warnings all week and just couldn't deliver. One goof drove 3 hours from Tyler to Jasper and finally found rain. Then he stood out in it, complete with rubber boots and an umbrella for the occasion, so he could "show" us folks at home how "bad" the storm was.
We've had 2" since 4am this morning. Going into July with plenty of moisture in the ground sure beats the alternative.

Put out a deer feeder with a game cam on it. You'll see 'em then.
And, should you be so inclined (I am NOT) :

Do you have a game camera out to see where the chucks hang out? Unfortunately rabbits and chucks seem to like the same foods. Not sure if there is something a chuck desires that a rabbit does not. We have ZERO rabbits this year. So bizarre since we had a new young one show up about every 3 weeks last summer.

I've seen them while trucking, but have never lived in an area with them. It sounds like, I'm glad that I don't....but if I did I would quietly do my "Thing" to thin them out too. Even if I had to get a scope to get 'em.

I have a game camera but I already know where their dens are since they are deep enough to bottom out the golf cart.
Several times I have seen the chucks well enough in the open to get a shot but they manage to place themselves in a line between where I am when I see them and a straight line to a neighbors house so no safe shot.

Smart chucks! Guess you need to set up a blind with a good shooting line

I tried those Smoke Bombs but have no way to know if the holes I put them in were active or not. I never found more than one hole for each chuck so don't know if I got any or not.
