You popped that suckered good! I've never seen a groundhog that size just tumble over like that. Wow! Hellava shot buddy!
I bet that got the blood pumping!
I know some people thought I was using too much gun when I did most of my groundhog hunting with my Benjamin Bulldog .357 shooting Polymags and slugs, but adult groundhogs are as tough as nails, and they need a good headshot between the eye and ear to put them down clean. I have had a lot of success using the Bulldog on bodyshots as well, as a good heart lung shot is easier to get over a headshot.
I am now shooting groundhogs with my FX Maverick VP .30cal and the greatly improved accuracy has liberated me to take more headshots to get the job done. I've been using FX Hybrid slugs, and they are as devastating on groundhogs as they are pricy.
