Ground Hog hunting is going to be my story when out in the woods and fields this spring and summer. Here in NJ, we can't stump shoot on public property, but woodchucks are in season almost year round.

I didn't harvest a deer this year, so ground hogs will be my quarry until next fall. Spending time in the woods, hunting ground hogs, stump shooting, learning more about deer teritory, what more could you ask for?

My wife comes from a long line of Missouri hillbillies (self-admitted) so we've had opportunity to eat a number of things, but never groundhog...

I cut my bowhunting teeth on groundhogs in Virginia in 1969/70. It is a great sport. Very challenging with traditional archery equipment I might add. Sorry to say, I have not found the whisle pigs in Texas. Prairie dogs, yes, ground hogs, no. Posts: 3061 | From: Texas | Registered: Jan 2004

I've had more whistle pigs duck my shafts than deer! That thread on low profile feathers /high FOC arrows got me thinking... they hear it coming?
now if I could just hunt along the wide areas along our bypasses, I could limit out! Last week's quick warm spell had em out along the sidehill about one to every 75 yards for 3 miles!

Any time you want, your welcome. Not sure you can get enough arras cross the border for a hog safari. Homeland Security might start asking questions. We take the smokepoles out and can get 120 to 150 a day! Hoggin is real hard on arras.

Where I grew up in Southern Pa seemed to be the birthplace of the ground grizzly, and the last time I was there the local population seemed to be doin just fine. But I'll be darned if I can find one down here in the Lowcountry of SC.

I was planning on trying it this year. What type of points/broadheads do you recommend? I am shooting a 50# ACS-CX, with Safari Grizzlystiks (506gr total). I was thinking of using the Bunny Busters by Ace, or a broadhead with the Adder points behind them. Thanks, Duane

Dagwood64, Woodchucks are extemely tough an anything but sharp broadheads won't do, an then you may need to run a few down. Thats why there called pasture grizzly, tuff tuff tuff. Don't under estimate ther nose, surviors of rifle hunters can be as wary as any whitetail. Good Luck an Good Hunting. Bob
