One way to get them that works is to let them escape to their hole. Run around to the other side. When they peak back out in a short while they will be looking in the direction where they last perceived danger. You can have a short, back of the head shot at them in this situation. A few years ago after we had been living in our new home for a while we had a female with a litter of 5. I managed to get her and the young ones were not as wary or smart. I got 6 of them at the house that summer. Another time we had one that had a den in back of my shed. My friend, Todd, who was over for a visit scared him and he went to his den. Todd got on the other side of the den and I got right behind the den with my bow. The chuck came out and kept his eye on Todd. I was able to get him in the back.:cheers:
