Ohio groundhogging this spring.

Been out three times over 20 so far saw at least as many more that I couldn't get usually because they were out of range.
I'm showing the area I'm hunting usually bean and alfalfa, shots were 100 yards to 250 max , my comfort zone with the CZ 527 hornet, I'm running a Hawke 6x24x50 with the long range dot, love a dot for varmints, i'm shooting suppressed mostly a Liberty titanium at about 6oz. I'm shooting a Hornady, 20 grain V-max at 3650 fps, as well as American eagle black tipped at 3610 fps, both are performing well.All gh's are drt no crawl offs yet.I'm hunting one farm with 5 1000 acre sections, atv required to traverse fields.A few pictures of my setup, and a word to , you know who you are cause you contacted me, these pictures are not an affront to anyone who has shot less, it's just the luck of the draw I've been hunting these areas for years on exclusive to me only. Doesn't mean i'm better than anyone on this forum anyone can do this provided they practice, have decent equipment, and have the spots.Addendums below on me replying to thread. Someone got their feelings hurt last year when I posted a boatload of varmints I killed, and thought it wasn't fair to others. Please give me a break.

You are temping me to try and get out. Hunted the Holmes county area for 40 years. Have not been out for a couple years because of back surgery. About 2017-2018 I spent several days cruising my old areas and didn't see a GH or den in a field any where.
