[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 567962, member: 36369"] Went back to the same farm this weekend. The groundhogs must be trying to add on fat before the winter sets in. They were wearing out the alfalfa. I figured it would be too cold for them with temps in the forties at night but the mid-day sun had them out feeding. Carried the Remington 700 in 17 Remington Fireball. I didn't figure on shooting more than 200 yards and I knew I'd be shooting around the farm buildings. Shot one big male at about 75 yards that was denning in a tool shed. The one in the photo was in the same field I killed the hog and coyote. He was at 178 yards with about a 15 mph cross wind. He was a toad. Felt like he'd top 30 pounds. With the 17 Fireball there was no exit hole and I couldn't find the entrance. I put him out at the edge of a corn field at 407 yards hoping to catch a yote on him latter but the wind was really bad today so I stayed in. Next time maybe. [/QUOTE]
