How to kill a groundhog with a knife,sword, or any hand held melee weapon?

Question

I made a bet with my buddy that i could kill the groundhog that lives under our shed with a knife which we then agreed any non-projectile weapon. I don't want to hear not possible etc. just ways in which i could do it.

useful info: if need be i could climb on top of the shed and wait for it i guess, the hole is directly under the shed so he comes out from the hole then comes out from under the bed so the actual hole isn't in reach

Answer 1

First locate a groundhog.

Corner said creature and commence the beating of it's life.

You might need to hire a professional....

Answer 2

pitchfork or sharpened shovel, wait for him to come out of his hole about an hour before dark.Stab him

Answer 3

dig a hole, line it with ashes. place fresh peas in the bottom. when the groundhog stops to take a pea...kick it in the ash hole. stab it, gut it, eat it while sitting around the cement pond.

Answer 4

Snare the thing, then stab it and tell him you got it....

hehehe

Answer 5

Short of catching it in a trap or snare first, it is impossible.  I am trying to deal with 6 of them living under my shed as well.  They won't let me get within 40 yards of them without them running away.  

I suppose you could set a live trap and wait until one wanders in; when it does, then use a knife or sharpened stick on it.

Answer 6

Watch Rambo for ideas, especially the scene where he kills the wild pig. Whatever you decide to do, you need to videotape it and put it on YouTube. I have to see it, it should be good.

Answer 7

Why  would you want to kill it ? if it's just for a bet  that's a pretty lame reason..

Answer 8

Ten to one the groundhog outsmarts you.

Answer 9

Are you allowed to snare it first?  it's easier to kill a tied up animal.

Answer 10

If you are skinny enough, crawl up under your shed after him! After all, 30 pounds of irritated rodent with 3 inch teeth can't be THAT hard! Oh, did I mention the digging claws?

Snares, traps, sneaking? Be a MAN, and tackle that furry little rascal barehanded! You only bleed for awhile!

Answer 11

you'll have to suprise it, know youre gonna hit it befor eyou strike

Answer 12

And you don't have anything else to do with your time?

Answer 13

be fast, patient & silent

Answer 14

#1  You are going to have to cut off it's retreat.

#2   Learn when it is most active.

#3   Video the event for You-Tube

Answer 15

If you had asked me this question years ago I would have said you were crazy. That is until the day I saw a friend of mine run one down on foot and kill it with his boots.

  You could try using smoke bombs in it's den. Find all the holes and block them. Then drop your bombs and wait. Or you could wait for it to climb out. might be waiting awhile, especially if he keeps using the hole you aren't watching.

  You might be tempted to use gasoline and burn him out....Don't!! We had a kid singe his eyebrows and arms doing that.  Firecrackers would be a safer bet.

Answer 16

wait for him to come out then through the knife at him in a spinning motion

Answer 17

the groundhog could have a disease and if it bites u, ur gonna end up in the hospital with a series of painful injections, but if u insist on doing it, lure it out of the hole, snare it, and stab it

Answer 18

There is only one way to do it-mano-mano. Leave him a note- challenge him to a fight to the death at high noon- you may have to tell him, ground hogs never carry watches-oh yes, you may have to read the note to him, they are notorious for never learning how to read. The only sporting thing is to use a knife with a 3 inch blade to match his 3 inch teeth. Get on your knees for the battle, to make it a little more even- and get your buddy to film the whole thing- someone has to tell the tale, you know. Good luck!
