Ground hogs in trees? Totally bizarre

Not only can them climb trees, but they can climb them pretty fast too!
 
I saw one climb a tree while squirrel hunting last winter just after deer season. I had never heard of it before, so I spent the next 15 minutes Googling whether groundhogs climb trees. Haha

I have a ground hog that’s been hanging around my house for a while. Yesterday I watched it climb a chain link fence, climb into a tree and start eating leaves. Who knew they could do that? I guess I’ve got to reevaluate my idea of how much wood can a woodchuck chuck now that I know they climb trees. I’ll try and link a video.

Never witnessed that before. Thanks for sharing! This past spring I watched a baby barred owl crawl from the ground up the side of a huge white pine back into its nest. I checked out you tube videos, I guess I'm not the first to see that happen. Always fun to see stuff like that in nature!

I’d like to try it. I mean they just eat grass right? Small beef cows.

I told him he couldn’t off the ground hogs, apparently my wife has become attached to the things. Now he does trap quite a few coons that may get cooked up.
 
I want ever forget my buddy from Mobile Bay seeing a Ground Hog for the 1st time. He said “GD that beaver sho is a long way from the river, it’s got to be a mile or better.” I just laughed, and said “yep, looks like he lost his tail too.” After about 30 mins of silently pondering he said, “That wasn’t a beaver was it?” I said “Nope, not even close”. I’m not sure he ever figured out what it was.

Blew my mind when I saw a groundhog climb an ash tree in my front yard. Had to Wikipedia it and yeah, it's a thing.
