I should have mentioned earlier, they are also very partial to under the edge of buildings. Three farmers I know have burrows right at the base of the barn wall. Two more burrows are under cottages here at the lake where the residents are very rarely here. We see them crossing the road to get to the lake, presumeably for a drink. As I stated before, most of my shots are relatively close, so a .22 is enough plus of course it's not as loud and alarming to the locals as a centerfire. Most of my hunting consists of just waiting where one has been seen. Let them come out, let them look around for awhile, most times they'll come on out and sit up for a real good look around. Bring the rifle up very slowly while they are looking the other way, it usually doesn't spook them, and you get your shot. Works for me..........John
