Hunting chucks is my favorite type of hunting. I have killed as many as 600 in a season ( out West rockchucks ).
Usually I kill about 200 in an average year.
Calibers have come and gone and now I mostly shoot them with a 22.250AI, 223, 220 Swift or 243 Winchester.
Calibers I have used to hunt and kill chucks:
17 Mach II
17 HMR
17 Fireball
17 Remington
204 Ruger
20 BR
22 Long Rifle
22 WMR
22 Hornet
223
22-250
22-250 AI
220 Swift
6mmBR
243 Winchester
6-284
25 Roberts
257 Roberts AI
25.06
260 Remington
7mm-08
7mm Remington Mag
7mmSTW
308
30.06
All the rimfires are questionable on chucks IMHO. Head shots or neck shots work best with the rimfires.
I will be back in the varmint fields looking for chucks in a few more months.
Can't wait!
For some pictures check out a friends website. Dave has pictures of some chucks we have hunted and some darn good videos and clips.
