I grew up eating groundhogs. The smell is from the musk gland under each leg. Remove those and ALL the accumulated body fat groundhogs taste very much like pork. Bet you wouldn’t eat a muskrat, either. I have....

I'm gonna give it a try. I figured they would be fatty and probably tender meat but never had the balls. LOL I'll report back in the spring.

You want young ones. Make sure to get those musk glands out when you clean them. My paternal grandfather would pressure cook groundhogs with onion, celery, carrots, bay leave, salt and pepper. Once fork tender, he mixed the meat with his homemade BBQ sauce. GOOD eats...

Going to start letting the dogs go out front to do their business for a week or to, see if that helps.
We have a serious deer problem also. This is the best thing we have found after trying a bunch of stuff. Motion detector sprinkler. They now walk around the backside of our flower beds.

Might have to give that a try, it's getting worse every year. We actually have more problems in the winter than the other seasons. Winters have been getting worse up here, with snow cover starting in early Nov .. too many deer, not enough food.

You'd think they would be grateful, we let them eat every apple off our apple trees.

Too many deer also cause this.

Letting the dogs do their business out front may do the trick.
I just asked the old farmer neighbor lady and she said sprinkling human hair around the area works.
She also said soap hung in the tree. I asked what kind of soap and she looked at me like 'is there more than one kind of soap made you idiot city slicker?" and said "A BAR OF IVORY!"
She knows her sh*t and I trust her word when it comes to farming and country living.

I've tried ALL of that. Irish Spring is the preferred brand here but none of it works for long, if at all, in my experience. That sprinkler works though. Problem with the sprinkler you need one for every location and it needs to be near a water source. You can daisy chain them together which is pretty cool.. Mine field!

Preston, I have hit three deer and my wife has hit three...but I haven't seen that!

I had the header panel and grills in the same color to fix it. They showed me the picture and I just had to share.
