How many groundhog hunters we got here?

Last year I was introduced to groudhog hunting, and now I find myself constantly searching the fields for these little buggers. I've already been out once this year and I have a few days off towards the end of the week and intend on hunting whistle pigs at least one of those days. Just wondering if how many other members get excited about groundhog hunting?

We used to have tons of them. The farms are mostly gone and so are the chucks. I would love to spend a day or two hunting them. Shawn

I love it. Got 3 dens I've built small blinds near, ready to go. The males have started roaming out a bit but not enough to ensure a shot if set-n near a den. another week or so of good weather and it's ON! Don't limit yourself to the ones you see in open fields, in my experience for every den in a field theres 3 or more less than 30 yds in the woodline surounding it.

Woodchuck hunting is very challenging here. Where I hunt them, you got to sneak up on them and catch them feeding. They don't venture too far from their holes. I love it, great way to keep sharp.

We have a small orchard and our yard is quite large. We occaisonally have a family or two show up each year so I hunt them in order to protect our garden. One summer I got 6 of them. I used to go out and look for them but farming is dying out and they are hard to find. Coyotes have also taken their toll on them.

I just love "chuck" huntin! When I get the chance I chase them in the rocks of Wyoming...Rockchuck, Marmota Flaviventris, Yellow belly marmot.
Of course I go way back hunting Woodchucks
...groundhog, whistle pig, Marmota Monax... in my home state of Missouri
You find them in isolated pockets anymore. Other than a "honey hole" they are widely scattered and more a target of opportunity.
Last year I had one living in my pond dam and if he shows again this year, he's toast!

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?

You mean there are people who don't hunt groundhogs with their bows?

I love hunting ground grizzlies around home. We have plenty of them in my area and here's one that I shot last spring.

10-4, Joe, I found it...
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 know the boys will eat anything, but sometimes she tries to deny her roots.... :D
