The orchards are private,but if you ask the owners they may let you kill a few. The squirrels are a PITA!

I actually went down 70 on the way to Texas, I looked in on you but the damned dog wouldn't leave your side so I could steal him....
You just didn't see me stalking your dog....

We found a little groundhog honey hole yesterday. My son made the furthest shot of the day at 484yrds. They seemed to be out everywhere we looked, he said it reminded him of prairie dog hunting in KS but a ghog is a much bigger target. It's a lot harder to have days like this around here, just seems like there aren't as many ghogs around....wonder why?

I'm sure you are right, they take their share but I think rangefinders, chronographs and ballistic apps on cell phones are equally to blame!
