Why do I detest the Beechey Marmot so much? well, beyond the disease/plague vector,...
destruction of property and severe erosion from the tunneling.
these images are well within a 30' diameter circle of each other.
These are the cut face for the road that leads to my driveway. This road ends in another 50' left of the images. There is an easement owned by the public utility company, and the county, to maintain the road. I'm not "allowed to do anything" permanent within their easement, which is about 30' wide along this outer edge.
This is erosion from their tunneling being pushed out.
In this image, the dark hole to the left of the shrubs in the image is another den entrance; you can also see the previous erosion to the right.
These tunnels are to the immediate left of the image above:
And this is that exact same area, about 20' set back from the road, where they've dug out the entire root area of an old Olive tree.
Sarge was trying to stuff rocks into the holes, which they just dug around.
This is where I started to get pissed about the damage, and the obsession began.
The stacked wood, and trash can (green waste barrels) is my long distance blind (200' shot)
And, this is the mulch in this same area; Chewed open Macadamia nut shells from the abandoned farm across the road (my 200' target zone).
