The western version (yellow bellied marmots or rock chucks) have been out and about for maybe 3 weeks here in SE Oregon. I was an avid shooter as a kid in Va, but don't bother them here. Activities are pretty well confined to boulder strewn rims as opposed to mid-pasture and fence row digs back east.

The above are a couple of Cookie's images from last spring. She did snap some new pics yesterday, but hasn't done a download yet. Had some tourist come through recently asking about the huge moles they'd seen by a nearby bridge. That's got me wondering if I could find or produce an official looking mole-crossing sign I could put up.
