Also I wouldn't use anything under .22 cal. Once it warms up and the woodchucks are out I plan on bagging my first with a super streak 0.22. _________________ .22 Super Streak   Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 5:37 am jlwilliams Veteran Member Joined: 02 Oct 2009 Posts: 264 Location: Jacksonville, NC USA There aren't as many woodchucks around here as there used to be . Anyway, if you can get close enough you may be OK with a 177. Right between the ear and the eye gets you brain. I saw an excellent book at Cabella's and I wish I had grabbed it or at least written down the title. It had pictures of all sorts of animals with overlayed images of the vital organs. Kill shots for every conceavable critter from big game to varmints.
