What calibers were you shooting? I think I killed my last eastern chuck with my .223.. For several years, I spent much of my summer vacation shooting woodchucks in Pa. Those first years there seemed to be chucks everywhere.. I mostly used my .22 Hornet, .222, and .22-250.
Haven't hunted them for years now.. But when we visit, there are not as many as years ago.. The number of chuck hunters had dropped of when I had my best years.. But now I have heard coyotes are in the area, and many of the old farms are growing up in weeds.. Chucks don't like weeds.. All my photos of that era are in scrap books.. I think my best day was 18 chucks, not all from the same field.. Great times..
