Spotting a groundhog: Look for physical attributes, burrows, tracks, and scat, and observe their behavior and posture.

You are also more likely to see a groundhog in your garden. Their eating habits also cause a bigger headache for gardeners.

Groundhogs like grassy open areas because they don't have big obstacles like tree roots and giant rocks. So that pretty little garden or that freshly mowed lawn, that is a free-for-all for groundhogs.
