At lot of people have asked what animal I am referring to when I mention rock chucks. These are technically a marmot, but I generally don't have a chance to take pictures of them.
Tonite I was on my way home when I noticed that a friends orchard had quite a few varmints in it. I returned with my pellet gun, found the home pile of rocks and wood and set up close by. I hit 3 with killing shots, but 2 managed to drag themselves into their holes, even though I backflipped one of them, hitting him solidly in the head.
This one didn't make it into a hole.
Don't worry, the barbecue is a junker that was close by, but I wanted to give some scale.
PS. Inside city limits, so couldn't use the 17 HMR or the Grendel.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
