[ChuckHunter]

Creeping up on my 21 count from last year. 

62 fpe with JSB 34s to the mellon....63yds.

Check the choppers on this big male.

 first big one right in the head with the Veteran at 110yds with varmint knocker 24 grain in .22....and the second with my Cricket .25 and varmint knocker 31.5 grain dish base at 963 for 65fpe. 122 yards!

I turned her up a notch this morning! Lol

Very nice. Hope the action continues as the season progresses. Bill

Nice shot!

 

[pcparmy]

Nice! Lots of time yet too

Nice shot, those 34gr are brutal. I havent lost a chuck yet with them. But probably the pass thru on the Mellon helps too. Cant wait to see all the little ones running around soon.

I have only seen 2 in my area so far this year. Missed them both. I can hit a chipmunk in the head at 50 yards all day long, but I can't seem to hit groundhogs. I have a recipe for stew that I would like to try.

Nice shot brother.

Me too Bill,

All 14 have come from a single 80 acre section on the grand river. I have another location out north of town I'm going to check out this weekend. The farmer said he's seen a few running around. Not for long with me on the job! Lol.

All the rain has made it a little harder to spot them with the grass getting so tall but not impossible. Crops all went in late this year too because of all the rain. They love bean sprouts so I'll definitely be getting some good open shots in the next few weeks!

It did pass through too right at the base of the scull. And yup the little chuck will be coming out to forage very soon!

Breathe and try to fight the excitement! Lol

Yes especially the young ones are tasty!

I've dropped a few off to a friend that absolutely loves them in stew and on the barbecue. 

 

[ChuckHunter]

Nice shot!

Thank you sir, 

I've anchored about half of them with my Veteran and 24 grain varmint knockers too.

3 out past 100 yards!

James, we're in the same area. I spend a fair amount of time up in Rose Lake area, checked out Dansville, and go up east of the flooding north of Saint Johns. Maybe we should swap some lies sometime.

Crap I put it in the original post....

Dang those are big!!

 

[ChuckHunter]

The first one was a big female. 

I saw at least 3 more adults and a couple more youngsters playing by a hole....

Got my first miss on one of the big ones!

Didn't Have time to range and shot just over it's head....next time! Lol.
