I have a woodchuck teasing me, at the back of our property. Comes out of its hole , lets me see him, and goes back down into the hole.

My current assignment from la jardinera is to get those burrowing rodents.
Two down and looking for more.

Maybe those Iowa groundhogs didn't receive a good education. Where I grew up when they go in the hole they don't come out for HOURS!!
I give all anmesty now since I killed so many of them in my youth. If they are causing damage or trouble why shoot them. That's how I feel now. BTW the make a wonderful pet.
Maybe a Savage 340? 222
I’d love to read your stories
Couldn't agree more. Just got the third one perfect through the chest out from in front of the house. Haven't even started on the rest.
A project I've been wanting to crank up on is an extended eye relief scope on a .40 bore GM barrel fitted to a modified TC Renegade stock, shooting paper patched hollow based boolits. Just cleaned off the work table to start.

Popping Ground hogs over theyears has always been a good hunting time.
Where we slice & dice corn crunchers the owner raises Herfords. One ground hog hole / tunnel is all that is needed to bust a leg.
Have you ever seen a large bare spot in a corn / bean field.... It is not always white tails. We find numerous GH's established on field edges.
Young one's make a good barbaque. Old ones are great for yote bait.
Our old Savage is a 32-20. Has carried a receiver sight all our year's with it.
Everything in balance!
GHs eat a lot and where there holes are can also determine the policy a land owner has to develop about them.
In my case, I and others over hunted them years ago. But we raise cattle and they eat forage so my policy is to allow them to return but carefully manage their population.
