Rock Chuck!!

[Longshot_34]

The one in the pic is relatively small. Some are easily twice that big. I shot 3 this morning on the way to work, all off the same pile. Still have to use my air rifle, but since its private property, I just roll up in my car, shoot out the window, and drive on.

We used to shoot at the neighbors rock pile down the road from where our new house is being built. Rock pit was in a U shape. We'd set up at the mouth of the U. It was 212 yards to the end. One day three of us went out and in a little over an hour we shot 100+ rockchucks. We counted 100 carcases but saw evidence of others that fell back into their holes after being shot. Those we didn't count. It was a great outing. Google maps used to show the acre+ of alfalfa they'd eaten of my inlaws field. Damage was a little worse when they started planting corn. We did what we could to keep them at bay.
