Well... I confirmed that Stormbringer really gets those kind of numbers. I didn't say anything about which state he does most of his 'chuck hunting in /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif.
But! My own personal best day ever, was in Utah. I wasn't going to post about it, because I think there are going to be alot of guys think I'm full of crap. But, I know I'm not, and so do a few other guys here, so what the heck... We did not actually keep track of how many we got that day (in 1998), so I can't say exactly what our total for the day was. But I know how many rounds of ammo we fired - and it was 350 (we ran out...). Our hit ratio was pretty good, too. I think we conservatively killed at least 150 chucks that day, between two of us. It might have been closer to 200, but like I said, we did not keep count so I'm really not sure. I'm sure that is going to sound like total B.S. to some, but, it ain't.
That was on private ground. A place my buddy took me to. So I've never gone back and hunted it again (he took me there, it's his spot). I was there two years ago doing something else and saw chucks running around everywhere. I don't think it would be hard to get permission to hunt there. But, like I said - my buddy took me there, it's his spot, I ain't gonna mess with it.
On public ground in Utah, the last few years, 30 between two of us is a pretty good day. I'd say average for us is probably more like 15 - 20. That's between two shooters. We usually make the journey to neighboring states when I'm able to go though - the numbers are much better.
