Caught this guy in the steel pile this morning. Pictured with my weapon of choice, the only one within reach. While I can't give a precise velocity, energy was sufficient.😉

Is that a Tikka pry bar? :chuckle: How was trajectory and wind drift?

The tip of that is pretty interesting looking. Now does that have a Secant or Tangent Ogive, or is that one of those new Hybrid designs from Sears and Roebuck by chance?? :chuckle:
I worked with a guy that was a damn good baseball player in school and he beaned one in the head with a rock at about 20 yards once. Killed it deader than dead, one shot, one kill. lol
Hmmm, seeing this makes me feel pretty silly as I've spent thousands of dollars on precision built full custom rifles and to think all I really needed was a $30 pry bar from Sears and Roebuck. :rolleyes:
Nice job by the way!

HAhaha thats *censored*ing hilarious

Don't be to impressed guys he was probably blind in one eye and on his last legs, look how small he is in the picture! :chuckle:

A 2x4 was all that was handy for this guy, worked almost as well as the bar.

Looks like velocity was a bit low on the second for the desired mushrooming of the 2x4! :chuckle: is a claw hammer next?

Whole new meaning to the term" Smack" down! Now to try that with bigger game....? Say a bear?

I know i will most likely get flamed on this one....but whats the point of killing these for? Its an honest question. I have never hunted varmits and/or know nothing about them. Are they a pest that does damage ,does anyone eat them or is it just for sport?

They offended his honor.

does anyone eat them
They are eaten in some places. A friend of mine was visiting some relatives in Virginia and was invited for dinner saying they just got a groundhog. His exact quote was: "If I never eat groundhog again, it will be too soon!" :chuckle:
-
I've never seen one skinned so I don't really know but they seem like they are mostly belly. They don't look like they'd have much actual meat to them but like I said, I've never seen one skinned. I have checked them out after I popped them with my 6-284 and they sure do explode nicely when struck with a 87gr. Vmax that was launched at 3600fps. :tup:

I ate a young groundhog back in the 60's and in old school tradition I "rocked" him as he was attacking me. This was on a bicycle hunt and I had to carry him back dangling from the handle bars.
Back in the 80's when I hunted rockchucks in eastern WA I wanted to do a "taste test" with a young rockchuck. Shot one in the throat, flipped him over to begin skinning..... I found way too many fleas and lice for my taste and gave up on the taste test.
