Groundhog invasion in downtown Columbia 2024-07-15 - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. There is a population explosion of groundhogs in downtown Columbia. This food party time picture is made near the little Town Creek that runs from Hurt Street to Jamestown Street, Lindsey Wilson Street, etc. Reports of the animals have come from all over the city, not just the creek. It's time to declare hunting season on them and call in the Hunters for the Hungry - we hear the groundhog meat is as tasty as chicken.
