Got my first one this year yesterday. 215 yds with my 223. Cant wait to get back out. I know there are a few more on that farm. Was short on time yesterday.

Do groundhogs hear the supersonic crack if you miss? Just wondering if I get a second shot if I have my suppressor on.
Well, that's hard to answer. If they don't get shot at a lot, they may not notice the danger. If you miss high, you have a better chance at a follow up. Low might throw debris up and spook it. I don't think the SS crack scares them. IMO. If your really close, the gun shot will get them moving for sure. If you use a big caliber bolt gun, practice cycling your bolt quickly after your shot. I make mistake a lot, and I only use the 17hmr.

I don't use bolt guns, only gas guns.

I've been wondering if the CCGC folks would mind if I took care of the woodchuck problem. Though I guess I can't as I'd be breaking the law riding with a shotgun loaded. A couple of times in the last month right near the entrance I've seen a couple of ground pigs that jump in to their burrows as I drive by. Usually they give someone a good 4-5 seconds to take a shot at them.
I wish I could find a farmer who wants their woodchuck problem taken care of (by me) :-/

Have you asked? A working farm loses a lot of crop to them.

We've gone at least a decade without the critters in our garden here in Columbia, but I saw a young one in my front yard yesterday. Shooting is not an option, so I guess I have to set a trap.

I use archery in my yard. Works great. Get yourself a crossbow.

Dumb question since I only hunt paper and clay......can I smoke a groundhog in my garden without a license? There's one sitting there now eating my f*ck*n beans 
Seriously...

SSS.
Shoot, shovel, shut up.

He got a reprieve for the time being....wife doesn't want me to kill it.
Yeah, my wife says the same thing about the 3 rabbits that are eyeing up my garden. As soon as those suckers become official nuisances though...
I do now have me a new crossbow.
Also, your property, you don't need a license. Should be 150yds to the neighbors though. But live by the 3S and add a D. Discrete. Don't hammer it with a .338LM, try some 22 quiets or a bow. I mean, unless you are on a big property. Then drop the little brown turd. They are legal 365 half hour before sunrise to half hour after sunset. No permit on your own property need. Must wear orange hat or vest.
This... but the 150yds is mandatory in most counties.... some exceptions for bows.
and... congrats on your new weapon lazarus!
