Groundhogs

[PBArcher8]

I've been hunting groundhogs for several years and quickly found myself wanting to shoot the little pigs all the time. Just curious, do any of you guys know of a place with alot of groundhogs or have any information on groundhog hunting? I like shooting long ranges with my .223 and i'm trying new reloads this year, that i'm pretty excited about.

Knock on some farmers doors. They hate them, and it may even get you an invite to hunt some deer.

Go to Punxsutawney right around February 2nd. I've seen one right there in main street early in the morning the same time every year. He comes out of his hole around 7:25 so if your in the right spot, you'll get a good shot at him.

If you can't get that one, there's another really annoying one that's been seen all over the state. He's been called the second most famous groundhog in the state. He must be very elusive, because me and everyone I know will shoot the stuffins out of him if any of us see him, so he must hide very well.

So you have gopher fever too? It's terrrible I know.After feb 9th I will be waiting for the first couple to show up.And try out my ruger #3 I've worked up some nice handloads with 55gr nosler ballistic tips. At 175yds they ripped a crow in half!! Cant wait to get some gophers with them. as for places ask farmers some pay.

I've never been told "no" by a farmer. I shoot my .223 with factory loads out to 300 no problem. Now you have me thinking of hog hunting before Spring Gobbler even comes in!

Hey toad, what are you loading behind those 55gr nosler ballistic tips?, i'm using the same bullet and putting 24gr XMR 2015 behind them, works like a charm. Just curious

In them I'm usin LC'04 brass 24.8 WC844 = H335 fed GM205M primers and seated .0035" off the rifling . with no wind at 150 one hole groups. Can't wait to try it on some gophers the rifle dosen't jump and I can see when the bullet hits . (The crow was a spectacular feather cloud!!!!)

Hey archer mabe we can plan a hunt this summer . Ever get one with a bow?

[PBArcher8]

as a matter of fact i have, but not on purpose. Just practice shooting my bow in my backyard and one stepped out and i shot it in the shoulder with a field tip. Even that was fun. Anything that involves shootin g-hogs i'm there, you name the time and place!
