If it was a safe direction in the shot I’d be using my AR in one ground hog. Keeps taunting me at about 100yds and bolts if he sees me closer. Haven’t been able to sneak up on him yet. The other one I’ve taken shots at 3 times. Twice he was in the run when I took the shots and missed. The third time, yesterday, got him frozen at 30yds, took aim just over his back and squeezed off the shot. Miss!
Noticed the action cycled on my 10/22 and seemed a little loud. Crap! I’d grabbed the mag of segmented subsonics, not the segmented quiets! No 3” of drop at 30yds for the subs. It’s dead on at 30yds with subs (it’s zeroed at 50 with mini mags).
Gave up and ordered a live trap finally. See if some apple cores can entice them in. Worried they’ll dig under the garden fence and wreck everything.
Won’t stop me from trying to pop them if I see them running about.
Last year I popped 3 woodchucks with 6 attempts with quiets (including the times they ran off before I had a shot). I think I am at about 8 attempts with 0 on the ground.
My can can’t break jail soon enough. Then I can use subs and up my odds and range.
