Im with you on the rock chucks Wyo...Ive only shot them when asked to because of damage. Best day I can remember was in an orchard just out of Yakima Wa. The owner specified .22s only ( there were no .17 HMRs then...) and also asked that we pick up and bury all the kills. I got 32 that afternoon and my partner did almost as well. ( Hence the reason he wanted them buried......but he dug us a handy hole with a bobcat )
