[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2228650, member: 109113"] I wouldn't want to be a woodchuck living in your part of the world. Anybody who shoots so many chucks that he needs a machine to haul them all out is a very serious chuck-slayer. Once - just once - my friend Buster and I shot a full dozen of them in a morning hunt, in northwestern PA. It was far more typical to get three or four animals in a morning stroll around the edges of the fields. That day, though, we hit the jackpot. The fact that it was an unusually cool morning was probably why. Usually they have to go underground once the sun gets much above the treetops to get out of the heat. One of the chucks was a really big one, which I shot at close range - maybe 75 or 80 yards off the muzzle of the 222. My buddy was watching through the scope, dialed up to high power, and he said that the look on its face was priceless when the bullet hit the chuck in the chest. It was one of those tri-color animals, which I think may be a function of old age. Lots of red on the chest & front legs; silver face & dark brown body. I wish that we had arranged all those chucks in a row and taken a picture, because it would have fit right into the program on this thread. Next time ....... [/QUOTE]
