Nice, we had groundhog hunts here in Southern IL. when I was

a teenager, although they were real groundhogs. In the late

60s, early 70s before we had coyotes, groundhogs were a real

nuisance for farmers. The state even had a bounty of .50 for each kill.

Although most people did hunt with high pwoered rifles, most

of mine were killed with a .22 around 50 yards. Back then .50

would buy a box of .22 shells. My grandfather enjoyed eating

them as well.
