Caught another chuck sneaking around behind my shop last evening just before dark. This one is a lot bigger than the others I’ve gotten this summer. 70 yards .30 44 grain hades right under the eye
Large Woodchuck down

The only one I've seen that size up my way was a female about ready to pop with a new litter. Black bears and coyotes keep the local population in check, but there's always the smarter ones that dig a den under your slab or concrete front steps.

That chuck has a bit of size on em. I just whacked a 20 pounder last week that was certainly the second largest for me ever. Tis the season, as they are fattening up for the winter.

Not as far as I’m concerned. I have heard of people trying to make them edible but it’s not for me

G-hog can be quite tasty if prepared right . Think about this , do you eat rabbit ? G-hogs eat mostly the same materials ,depending on where they live. They love most of your garden vegetables ! The hide is very supple yet strong . There is a muzzleloader's possibles pouch in our family from generations ago that is G-hog hide. I've eaten chuck several times years ago. I just feed the eagles & buzzards now though.

How well does the moderator work? I have a DonnyFL Ronin on my Maverick VP .30cal, and I'm wondering if there is something better.
