is there calls for groundhogs? or its just sit and wait to spot ?
There is groundhog calls, Ive never met anyone who used them though. You can walk along a farm field and just wait for them to Pop their head up.
I worked at a horse stable where the groundhogs were a huge problem. The horses were injuring themselves in the groundhog holes. So when I first started bow hunting I'd find a recently dug hole, bring a chair and a cooler with beverages in the Early morning and just sit and wait.
Other times if I seen a few in the field i'd crawl in the high grass areas with my bow get nice and close then pop up. They would run into the hole but within 5 minutes they'll pop their head up and its bye bye groundhog.
I'd sit on the tractor with my grandfather... they were accustomed to the sound of the tractor; but if I was to walk, they'd be gone.
In some places they're called "whistle pigs" for a reason...
