Okay, Bobert, here's whatcha do.

Go down to the store and tell 'em you gotta blast some stumps. Just a coupla sticks of dynamite'll do; make sure you get a couple electrical blasting caps too.

Put one stick of dynamite and one cap away, maybe in the house, but at least a hunnerd yards away. Now put a point on a wooden dowel and poke a hole from the top of the stick of dynamite about a quarter way down the stick and drop in the cap, the wires gotta stick out the top. Tape the wires in place.

Twist some regular old copper wire onto the cap wires and tape it in place. Use a LOT of copper wire, now! Find that ol' 'hog's hole and using a long stick shove that capped stick of boom-boom way down in the hole.

Now walk as far away as the copper wire'll let ya. Touch one strand of wire to one pole of a car battery and the other to the other (clamp the wires to jumper cables if yer chicken). BOOM! No more Mr. Ground Hog AND you got the start for a nice fish pond!

Use the second stick and cap if you don't get him on the first try.

Jist remember what the man said, "The is no problem so large or so complicated that it cannot be solved with the correct amount of high explosives."
