Very cool. More info please, even if you've posted it before. Distance, conditions, and as 17VLD said, powder, bullet. We'd love to more details.

P.S, The one on the right looks a bit mangy, I hope you are being careful when handling them.

Keep up the good work, making the farms of America safer, two WPs at a time.

I shot three groundhogs with the 17 TAC yesterday evening. The one on the right has hair missing on his back from coming out of his hole at the fence. The last one fell straight down in the hole and i could not get it out. It was headshot just like the others. 124, 155, 203 yards for all three shots. 25 Berger target bullet and varget powder sparked by a CCI 450 primer is my load at 4224 fps

Refresh my memory, who's barrel are you using on that??

Those 17's are a lot of fun to take chucks and crows with I think. Good shooting on those three. WD

Thanks for the update. Sounds like you've had a good summer so far.

Yes me and my hunting buddy have shot 61 groundhogs so far this summer. Longest shot has been 442 yards with my 20 TAC.
