Got 4 chuck rifles.
Aint shot a dirt piggy for a while.
Beans early is good.
Used to rotate crops beans n corn. Corn yrs we didn't hunt so survivors repopulated. Nowadays farmers dont rotate every other yr.
This before coyotes and fence lines ripped out. Dunno what farming practices also affected chuck numbers.
Aint like it used to be.
All my old spots got built up or changed ownership.
Last time i blasted em was on a dairy farm, whittled em down good in 2 yrs and then not enough to warrant the long drive.
Coyotes abound there.
Some farmers wantsd a young chuck to eat. Those were head shot rimfire kills. Using frangible bullets on body shots.....messes em up plus risk of metal i reckon
We just tossed em in the weeds. Some old farmers wanted em hung on fence. Man oh man did that stink up a place.
Pops and I killed 70 one summer along a stretch of RR track. 50 in a small bean field by the river not far from home.
My record was 10 in about 4 hrs. Creek and alfalfa field w cattle.
