I you want to shoot something a little bigger go east of Connell and you can find some rockchucks.

Man, finding good rock chuck shooting anymore is like finding a politician you can trust.

I'd laugh at that if it weren't so true
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

Some of the best rockchuck hunting I know of is between Prosser and Grandview, but there has gotten to be some many ranchettes out there it's hard to shoot in any direction, besides the fact that you've gotta know somebody that lives there in the first place.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Same story everywhere.  I used to have a good spot, but can't shoot there anymore... :(  Rock chucks are still there, just can't shoot them :bash:

There are all over the place here at the orchards, we shoot them at the vineyards too.  The vineyard manager are happy about us shooting them, they do allot of damage to the vines.  Outlook by Yakima is one of the best, killed about 30 in an hour.  And than watch the Eagles come in and pick them up, really cool.

go to moses lake there are tone of rock chucks  there and if you just ask any body that owns  land they will probly pay you to shoot them, me and my buddy's have done that a few times in the past summers but they paid for our ammo and lunch to sit on the hill and shoot all day

I see rock chucks in and around Spokane once in awhile.  Seems to me like I'd be in a heap of trouble for shooting those ones.  Couldn't imagine why?!  :dunno:
I'll have to head out farther west to find some shootable targets I guess.
