I use to do a lot of woodchuck hunting with my .22 rimfire years ago. Then took a long break as it was/is time consuming. Drove down to the local farm to glass an area I’ve shot chucks before. I positioned my truck so that I can shoot in three directions. I’m sitting in the truck glassing when this chuck shows up on top of some irrigation pipes 35 yards away to my left. I watch a bit and decide to sneak out the passenger side and get to the bed of truck where my gun case is. Set my bag on hood chuck is still there, crosshairs on it... it’s gone. A farm hand riding his bicycle had scared it off. So I waited an hour and it came back out. One JSB 18 and it was instant lights out. I located it through my scope at 5x, then cranked up to 25x. Clearly saw its reaction at the hit and knew I had my first chuck kill with my deadly Compatto.
