ingwe, they are diff. They like cultivated fields, especially clover.. They will dig huge holes in the middle of a field causing lots of danger for the farmer and his cattle and equip.. In W. Va. where I used to hangout some, every once in a while a farmer rolled his tractor on a steep hill when he hit a chuck hole.. I loved shooting them..
I have shot a few rockchucks.. Quite a few at different times. But they were causing some kind of damage.. I never could bring myself to shoot many in the mts. where they really didn't hurt anything.. But they are fun.. Somewhere in a 1940's AM.RIFLEMAN, I saw an article about guys shooting rockchucks in southern Colorado.. They were getting them out to 800 yards.. One of their favorite rifles was a 6.5 mag. with a quick twist to shoot a 160 grain bullet!! The QT is not that new after all..
Shrapnel, thanks for the info.. I need to load a bunch of .357's soon...
