A friend of mine that I work with has some land in which he has a "rock chuck problem". He invited me out to shoot some chucks and I extended the invite back to have him come along and share in the shooting. Today he said he had some time after work, so we met up and headed out with my pellet rifle. We ended up shooting off of the back of my truck bed as rest with ranges from about 20-100 yards. Between the two of us we shot 41 chucks. My friend now want's to do it again. The thing is now he does not want them all shot, "we need to leave enough for next year's supply". I think I may have created another pellet gunner. Most all of the chucks were able to make it back down there holes, and I was not going to reach down there to get them. Anyway here's a photo of several that I found.

Good haul there Wade. And congrates on making another hunter out of your freind. It sounds like you've got a small game hunters paradise out your way ! I'm sure there are guys (me included) who'd be happy for 1/10 the game you guys get to shoot !!!!!!!

Thats some serious dinging.way to smoke em. Jerry

great shooting!

Thanks guys. This was be far the best I have ever done on rock chucks. Between the amount of rock chucks at my friends place and shooting them with a pellet rifle is what I think helped us out. I think they did not get as spooked due to the quietness of the air rifle, they would come right back out. The best I had ever done prior to this was about 12 in a day shooting center fire rifles. I can't wait to do this again.
