Total Failure

Operation Double Bubble is a complete failure. I might try again with more gum directly in the holes. I might try Leslie's approach and throw used kitty litter in the holes. (Anyone with used kitty litter around should drop me a comment.) But the woodchucks best be warned: A new sheriff is coming to town, and he's armed. (Hint: It ain't me.)

Operation Double Bubble begins!

The Weapon

The Target

Operation Double Bubble went into effect yesterday at 15:00 hours. The goal? Target elimination. The weapon? A 99 cent package of Double Bubble chewing gum. Yesterday afternoon, I unwrapped the pink pods of doom and laced the area in and around the woodchuck holes. As of this morning, the gum I left just outside the holes was untouched, and there were a few targets roaming around and grazing. So I threw everything into the holes. 

And now I wait.

(For those of you worrying about my mental health and/or assuming I'm turning into Bill Murray, I have at least three more approaches to woodchuck elimination that I'll attempt before resorting to plastic explosives shaped like rabbbits.)
