Earlier this spring. My best friend Targ discovered this ground hog snooping around the yard. A chase ensued and to my suprise this ground hog climbed a tree as well as any squirell. The first time I had seen this happen!
Ground Hog in a tree
That is funny, I've never seen mine climb a tree!
I'm very surprised to see this. I had a lot of them when I lived in Ohio, but never saw one climb a tree. Cute picture!
What a great photo, and that groundhog looks like he's wondering just how he'll get down!
Glad you got a shot - never thought they'd climb a tree!
I've never seen that happen either, but learned from a Mrs-Ed last year, that they do climb. Nice picture of it.
Great picture of the little devil, to bad they didnt live in tree's, my garden would be very happy LOL

Normally they climb tree's to look for danger, never seen one go up a tree because of danger...corner a Ground Hog and your in for a fight you may lose.
I have seen them climb trellis's & fences to get eat the plants grown on them, but I never thought that they would climb trees!
I have about 20 you can have to put up there with that one .
I must say i have Never seen one in a tree in my life .
nor has my neighbor i copied the photo and printed it and tookit to him he laugh so hard he cryed he is 62 said that was his first ever.
