As I earlier reported, we began relocating the family of Mamachuck and her 6 younguns. We trapped one of the kids and released it next to a nearby swamp. Curiously, since that day, there has been no sightings of the Chucks. Mama took the hint and they left. For us it was one part quandary and one part relief. We've become infamous, however, in the inter-species press:
Sheesh, I'm getting a slagging from a publication I helped co-found!
Meanwhile, this morning C said she saw a big chuck and little chuck by the shed. Sigh, either Mamachuck has returned or a new mama has taken up residence. We're monitoring the situation and we agree that a Mom and 1 chuckette are tolerable and most likely (hopefully) not to do much damage. Stay tuned.
