We would hunt them 40 years ago in Tampa and at Grand Paps in middle Georgia. They are very dangerous in LA and MS in the southern areas due to being heavy carriers of leprosy. They are no joke there. And yes, they destroy a lawn and are almost impossible to catch live. They don't eat out of traps, they refuse to enter because they only dig for grubs and worms. You have to wait near their 9" burrow holes and choot'em as they return.
