It was like dejavu from the last one that I got, I went to the store when I came home I spotted the ghog, went inside grabbed my Liberty except this time I got it with a slug after waiting on my back porch for not even 5 minutes. I think these Ghogs are trying to scope out a den because there's a whole brood of them on the other side of the parking alley behind my house.

Good shooting Wayne...that's the way to do it.
The rest of them had better stay well clear of your place.

Thanks Tom and Randall !!! Woodchuck (AKA whistle pigs, ground hogs etc.) are everywhere in North America. I'll never forget the first time I heard one whistle, sounds like a giant bird making a whistling noise.
here's a target I did with the liberty the other day shooting those slugs at 50 yards.

Whole brood? Looks like the Liberty will be getting more action. Good shooting on number two, Wayne.

Nice shooting Wayne, defend your property!
Say, what is the size (diameter) of your target?

Thanks Luis and Charlie !!! Charlie the orange circle is 2 7/8", I like using the pinups out in the woods to give me an idea how close the scope is dialed in at.

Good work Wayne! That's a wee little one! This spring crop around here are nearly grown and out of the nest, if I'm not mistaken. It was almost two months ago that I shot one that size!

In my area (also Michigan) the last ones left the nest about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Had my gun torn apart, so I just chased them off. The little one was pretty big, about the size of a Detroit city rat, so think slightly larger than a 6 week old kitten.

Finished off the little ones Friday, soon as I got in my blind they came out to play 30 yards away, met up with the male across the road later that day, spooked him and he did not want to come back out and play with my .30 cal.

Nice shooting Wayne! I wish we had them this far south, they would make for a bit bigger of a target than I'm used to!
