Chucks and Headshots

[Gary in MD]

I will just bet that those head shot chucks would make for some really good eating! Better than Cotton Tail!

Nope! LOL
I may have to go back to using the 257 Weatherby, even the buzzards have trouble finding enough to eat then…

Lots to be said about that,I struggle to find a hole with a body shot using the 17 hornet,although when you pick a critter up if he feels like a bag of jello the shot was good,headshots lots easier.

Chucks under 200 yards usually either get a pass or a head shot. Here, a 17Rem on a big boy.

The problem were having here where I live in Pa, is the critters are
in populated areas you can't legally hunt, and burrowing under
sheds and home foundations. My son has several live traps setup
and have caught three this year. And the youngsters are now out
and about. Were using alfalfa feed pellets mixed with dried apple
flakes, then a further feeding of .22 Short.......

Dr. gives you this prescription. Diana 54 in .22 injection to the cranium.
