ground hog has me scratching my head

I was looking out of my window and saw a ground hog working its way to the leanto next to my shed. Wondering where where he was headed. I got to the window looking out there I saw him crawl under my truck. Then he crawled up into the undercarriage.
I went out and ran him off . what in the world would attract him up there.there is 800 acres of woods behind my shed and he is scrounging around there. Any ideas?

Most of the wiring is covered with a soybean based material. All rodents like it !

yup,,use to get calls all the time where they had gone in garage and eaten wiring off mowers,cars etc.

Thank you. Time to set a couple cage traps.

Seems the mice love the wiring too.

He wanted to go for a ride! LOL

Never thought of that. I know nice are bad about that never would have

Considered that with g/h. Thank you for the replies.

Some friends of mine had all 3 of their vehicles damaged by squirrels chewing the wiring. It cost them many thousands of dollars to get the wiring replaced.

No ground hogs here, but I’ve heard that Porkies are fond of wire insulation and rubber brake lines.
