We had a chuck this summer as well. I must have caught sight of it early, because the gardens suffered no damage.I wish it was that way here. About every 3 years I have to kill a woodchuck. Given the infrequency I've always suspected that somebody drops them off. Then there's the rat which showed up... you don't have just one rat yet once the chickens took care of him I haven't had another problem.
It took just a single shot from the high power .22 airgun to end it's stay. Threw the carcass over the stone wall, fox or coy dogs must have carried it away...
That's only 4 in 30 plus years, but I always wonder how they make it up the hill.
