LOL. Your sad tale just broke me up.

 da> propensity to rely on firearms as a matter of first resort.

If you are in an urban area, be aware that most municipalities frown on
the discharge of firearms in built up areas. Having said that, a light
weight shotgun like a 4-10 is ideal for varmints.

When I was a kid, during a drought, the ground hogs went after our
watermelons more than anything else in the garden. Perhaps you could
grow some sacrificial melons.

Moth balls tossed down their tunnels tend to discourage them. They may
just move on.

Another method is too block all their holes but one and then run a hose
off a roto-till or lawn mower exhaust and gas them. If you can get your
hands on any, a pint of carbon tetrachloride in their tunnels will do
them in easier than CO.

You can also adopt a dog or a big mean ol' cat to patrol the yard for
you.
