When we lived in the city of North Little Rock, AR, we had a mother ground hog and her two little ones living under our storage building. We could sit on our deck about 15 ft. off the ground and watch them eat the young grass shoots and they loved my husbands tomatoes. He finnally built a mesh fence around his veges. We lived close to a huge, wooded city park and saw more wild life in our yard than we ever saw out camping.
