I got one tonight! ground hog that is. little Mf-er was living under the bridge over the creek in my back yard. I hit him at 25yrds with #4 shot. I finished him off with a couple loads of #6 at point blank. he's lucky the slug i fired at him the other day missed. he got to experience 2 extra days on this earth. He is now laying on the other side of the creek waiting for the coyote's to feast!!

Jheezze Man ! Are CONGRATULATIONS in order? Now ...what will you ever do on Groundhog Day!?

Ohh... alrighty then.

Good thing you don't live in Muskoka, Ontario. If you shot a groundhog that might have been 'Groundhog Wllie'; then your ass would be grass. That's a Capitol Offense in Muskoka, Ontario. SERIOUS injury to groundhogs is NOT tolerated.... and ...did you hold a groundhog hunting license?

Not going hunting, but had some decent walleye fishing in the Eagle River area last week. Pan-fried walleye was worth putting up with the 30 MPH winds on Thursday.

O...did you hold a groundhog hunting license?

if you decide to take up residency under my bridge without permision, I have all the license i need to shoot you. I gave him a warning shot earlier this week. you would have thought that would have been enough.

So when I was a kid I once shot a gopher (like a chipmunk but lives in the ground if you dont know what a gopher is) with a 12 gauge slug from about 10 feet away. I ran up to see what was left and got covered in a fine red mist. Very vivid memory, the air tasted like a penny. all I found was a bit of skin and the tail.

A gopher is bigger than a chipmunk. Are you thinking of a ground squirel? I always thought a gopher and a ground hog where the same animal. kinda like a partridge and a grouse.

...update on the ground hog. his carcas was gone this morning. a coyote ate well last night.

Yaa. It was a stupid groundhog and bad for the gene pool anyway.

Nice work Little Whiskey. After you shot the sucker the first time couldn't you have just jumped on him and maybe beat him to death with your cane?

I think gopher and ground squirrel are the same, ground hogs are like prarie dogs, kinda like a bowling ball size.
