I can't brag about this. In fact, I feel bad about it. I took a shot this afternoon at a groundhog/woodchuck that's been raiding my garden . . . and the @#$! thing ran away after I shot it. I don't see how I could have missed - it was only 25 yards from my deck where I was standing and the varmint filled half my scope.
I'm now reading that a .22LR will normally only drop a groundhog with a headshot. I didn't aim for the head.
I spent a while looking and didn't see any blood. I'm hoping that I missed completely but that seems unlikely. I sighted the gun in at a similar distance and my shots were consistently grouped within about an inch of one another, albeit to the right of center. If I did miss completely, I should get another shot at it in a few days. The critter has to eat. If so, and if I do better next time, I'll post photos to rival the most savory meals that Nemo has entertained us with. Groundhog. It's what's for dinner!
