I don't want to catch the little bastard, but I'd like to get him in the habit of hanging out near my porch so I can watch him and his brood. They really are neat looking little animals. I love it when they stand up and look around.

OK, this is disgusting. Woodchucks are vile creatures. And they eat the radishes in my garden!
(Alright, I don't really have radishes, but if I did, the woodchucks would be a problem -- so there's your answer.)
Did I ever share the story of how, after the spring thaw, I went to empty out the watering can that somehow had enough water in it over the winter (I know -- I just should have put it in the garage, but I DIDN'T -- OK?!?!) to freeze into a solid block up to the top of the can. So anyway, after the thaw, I go to pour out the water, and A GIANT RAT CAME OUT WITH IT!!! AAAAAAGH!
That was so freaking disgusting -- I threw the can down, and ran away screaming. (How very brave of me, no?) My husband went to dispose of it, and informed me that it wasn't a rat (I thought it strange to see a rat in those parts -- mice, yes, but not rats), but a squirrel. It only looked like a rat, because its tail was no longer bushy, having been soggy right before Mr. Squirrel untimely met his maker.
