Default Waiting for the whistle pigs !

I started hunting again last summer ( '09' ) after a LOOONG hiatus. The woodchuck population took a slap, but fortunately they are a regenerative little critter. Only problem now, TOO MUCH SNOW !

I am itching for some action. Anybody wanna talk chucks, I love to see pics of kills, rigs, hear any tips & tricks, and appreciate recipes.
Our favorite so far was barley and chuck stew with garden veggies.

grilled chuck needs some work.

oh yea, how cruel is it they hold up the little bugger and ask him about the weather forecast, and I cant shoot him ?!?!?

I can't wait for them hogs to crawl out of there holes again. Sometime in about a month I would expect them to arrive. I had a wonderful year last year. Shooting 37 on my dad's 70 acre farm, all with a .17 Savage. Never ate them, just dispatching them. Now I have a record to beat. That's said to be animal cruelty with that Pux. Phil, I think he's the most pampered hog out there.

Havent chased pasture poodles for quite a while but the nephew has convinced me that we should help out some of his landowner freinds this season. Got the 22-250 keeping a one inch goup at 200 and put a bipod on it and we're ready to make some pink mist!

Not as long as you head shoot em. A body hit from an 06 will pretty much turn em into a pink mist.

I saw one running across the snow off of I-81 around Ft Indiantown Gap on my way to Harrisburg on Tuesday, March 2. I guess he didn't get Phil's message.

Yeah I wanted to ask if anyone seen any early risers in this warm spell. I guess that one in Indian Gap was pretty early.

Haven't see any yet, but I did have the .220 Swift out for a shooting spell yesterday. Nice groups under an inch at 100 yards and about 2.5 inches high.

I saw 2 yesterday where I go for hunting. But I wasn't hunting hogs, I was hunting deer sheds. I think I'll give it a week or two to get warmer and a little greener to start picking them off.
