Guns and Guts

[GunnyJohn]

Nothing better than an evening out with your 30-30 cast boolits and some ground squirrels. Well mabey not.... if you're a ground squirrel

No better way to spend a day that's for sure. I love my late afternoon wood chuck hunts you don't get the number of shots you would on ground rats but its a blast and using home rolled boolits makes it that much better. Ever seen a .35 REM and a woodchuck collision?

My bet is the woodchuck wins.... NOT

[runfiverun]

yep the rcbs 30-150 rnfp makes a mess outta ground squirrels.
it's a bit more satisfying sneaking close to a couple of them, than it is clocking them out at 150 yds.

How does a woodchuck taste??

[Smoke4320]

not like chicken :) :)

Young or Old?

[runfiverun]

probably better than a rock-chuck.

Young woodchuck makes some fine eating. Ten pounds and under. Cook like they were squirrels or rabbits.

Braising is the preferred method.

I once had a Swedish Mauser chambered for .35 Rem with a 24 inch barrel. With a full tilt load under a 125 JHP, whistle pigs vanished into pink mist up to a hundred yards. I used a .22 rf for pot hunting.
