They come out this time of year in MO also. Its been a little cold Im waiting for 60 degree days.
Finally got two now that the warmer weather is sticking around. Last one was a nice shot with my 308 @ 428yd. Cant say enough about the Shooter program. Works well with all the rifles Ive used it with
I have always wanted to hunt ground hogs. Always seems like I get to busy to go....not to mention lack of places.
Face'd this chubby today while he was "eyeballing" my new glass. Time to get the rattle can Krylon back out!!
Here is another I got a few days ago. Nothing like breaking in a new Rock 6.5 Creedmoor barrel on sod poodles.
What I miss about groundhogs (I grew up in Indiana) is that they were delicious to eat. All dark meat. One born that year was tender enough as-is. Ones older than 1 year needed parboiling in salt water (45-90 minutes) until a fork would easily go in, and keep skimming off the fat that would rise in the pot. My wife would then fry them. One adult would be 4 meals for her and I. Didn't taste like squirrel, and nothing like rabbit...sorta it's own flavor. My grandparents wanted me to kill everyone on their farm, but I wanted to leave some for "seed" for the next year.
Like this? Lol nice 418yd poke. 75amax at 2850. No pass through.
Haha....that's what you call tits up....nice shot.
Damn, I miss hunting groundhogs in Ohio! It's been ~17 years since I did that. I used to hunt them on the area farms around my folk's house in Fredericktown. This is one near there taken back in probably '94/'95 or so with my stock Rem700 .22-250 VS (I feel old now). I'm working on moving back to OH this summer and would love to pick it up again.
this guy did the typical, "run to the hole, stop and look one last time" didn't work out so well when I introduced Mr. 22-250AI with a 55gr BlitzKing at 33 yards
heres an end to end shot at about 120yd. threw him back 5-6 feet
i call bs i think a train hit it and you took the photo
it never felt a thing, nice shot. i still haven't seen one to get a shot at yet i need to get out more.heres an end to end shot at about 120yd. threw him back 5-6 feet
must be them new fangled self skinning bullets.. Nice shot!
