ts a skinny little woodchuck. I got one that periodically sits up on my back door steps. It is true about how every day they take a few bites out of something different in the garden. I once grew melons and every night when they started to ripen I would lose on to just a few bites by the woodchuck. When all the melons were gone , he got a hankering for sweet corn. He would knock the whole stalk down to get a few nibblets off one ear. next day , a different stalk knocked down. I once hid outside and when he entered the garden I gave him one in the butt with a BB gun. He barely moved after one pop and just walked away after the second. Anyway , I just forget about him now but if I go out that door at night I turn the light on first and take a look. I'd hate to startle him by walking out 2 feet from him. Mine was a real fatty , not skinny like this one. Maybe as some have said , its just a baby and hasn't filled out yet
