Attracting groundhogs to yard

Hello;
I have a side yard/incipient wood lot/blackberry patch.
I mow the grass 2-3 times a season, in a token effort against ticks and to keep access open.

There are groundhogs nearby.
Any ideas on how to attract a groundhog?  There is an nice sandy bank that looks like groundhog heaven.
For various reasons I am not in a position for goats or rabbits to eat the grass, but a groundhog might do the trick.
cheers, doug

Plants young fruit trees, especially mulberries, and the lil buggers will be in your yard to eat them in no time

In my neck of the woods, I normally see them in mowed areas, along roads. It seems like they feed at the edge of open areas more than in the middle of brambles/bushes.

I walk my dogs around the edge of my property daily to help keep groundhogs out of my yard, so making sure to keep dogs out of the place you want them would also help.

Late update:
I eventually passively lured a ground hog.
But the poor fool crawled under a fence to my dog yard and met a sudden and bloody end.

I caught one in a live-trap baited with a boiled egg (peeled & halved).

I'm wondering what the impulse is to have them around? Maybe you could fill me in. Something that outweighs the Powassan virus for my calculation...

My brush piles seem to do a pretty good job of bringing them in...

Originally I wanted one to eat the remaining grass, but my miniwoodlot is past that stage now.  No Powassan virus here yet, although there is Lyme disease, so good point on harbouring tick vectors.

Contact your local wildlife rehabilitation center, they likely need release sites.  They would to an evaluation to see IF the site were suitable, and could offer pointers to make it more appealing as well.
