Groundhog - or Woodchuck - Hunting Season?

A new proposal was put forth in Madison to create a groundhog hunting season.

Here is one man's take on the debate around the proposal - Patrick Durkin from madison.com

Let this flap about a hunting season for groundhogs be a lesson to lawmakers: Once people put a name with a face – especially one that’s borderline cute – expect mud fights and silent friends if you can’t specify good reasons to hunt the critter.

This proposal by state Rep. Andre Jacque, R-De Pere, was difficult from the start because we can’t even agree whether this overgrown ground squirrel is called a groundhog, woodchuck or whistlepig. And we sound downright cranky when declaring dates (March 1 to Dec. 31) when it’s OK to shoot Sun Prairie's “Jimmy the Groundhog” or Pennsylvania's “Punxsutawney Phil.”
