I have two ranges on my property, so I shoot A LOT. However, I'm not laying on my stomach facing downhill in a cornfield when I shoot. Or laying in high grass on a hillside. The groundhogs around here have the advantage with all the small rolling hills. They strategically place themselves where it's impossible not to skyline yourself.
You'll learn. It's a game of cat and mouse. Experience will help you figure out how to outsmart them, whether it's belly crawling, sneak a peek, hide and seek or wait 'em out. Good luck and have fun.
Oh yeah, I learned a lot after just one outing. They're probably some of the funnest animals to hunt. Right up there with coon. My next venture I'll go for all head shots. Should be fun!
