Me and my partner Tim went for a little chuck hunt a few days ago.
Didn't get into too many, but did manage to find a few to shoot. I was trying a new load on them. A 6AI, with 75 Vmax at 3800 fps. Almost every chuck I hit, we could not find afterward. It was just throwing them too far.
Here's a video clip - Fearsome Nasty Chuck Medicine. It's about 2.3MB, so it will take awhile if you're on a dial-up!
We tried calling some coyotes just for yahoos too, since the chuck hunting was so slow. Came down off the mountain into the desert and made five or six stands. Called in three singles and a triple. Only two of them pups (the triple). Wasn't looking to kill them yet, just calling them in and messing with their little minds. Tim got itchy and blasted and adult male though...
