We usually wait until March to start this thread, because the groundhogs are usually sleeping about now. The weather has been unusually mild this year, and some of the sod poodles have delayed their winter nap.
Blueridgeboy and I were scouting some new territory today, looking for wild hog sign, and spotted a pasture poodle resting on his mound out in a cut bean field. The range was just over 200 yds., and all I had was a 270! The shot was safe, so I took it, and officially started the count for 2012, on the first legal day (in VA) of the New Year!
BRB captured the scene of the crime on his Droid.
So at the Mod's pleasure, it's time to remove the sticky on the 2011 thread, and hopefully sticky this one for the 2012 groundhog season.
Let's take our cameras with us this year, and get some great pictures of our pasture poodle adventures.
Happy New Year!
