OUTSIDER Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Ground Hogs I have killed a few bowhunting around field edges,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gitcha_some Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Ground Hogs ive killed a few while deer huntin, walking to and from my stands although my funniest groundhog kill was with a 20ga. slug gun at 9 steps with a 285gr. platinum tipped slug talk about overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Ground Hogs i get them in my back yard and if i see them pop out sometimes i will go get my bow and sneek up on them, ive killed 4 with a bow in the past 2 years, its pretty fun, but normally i just get the .22 out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: Ground Hogs Haven't tried it with the bow, we generally hunt them in fields up here, so it's pretty hard to get close to them. I usually just use the .22 Magnum or the .22-250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: Ground Hogs I know they tear up the land but id love to have a few around here. I bet they are a blast to hunt. There are tons in Western Oklahoma but we have none here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WvBowhunterKE Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Ground Hogs lol good job...those little rascals are hard on cattle...think the 2o gauge was overkill I shot two of them with a 30.06 hollow point 185 grain...lol now THATS overkill....the boys behind said I missed after I pulled the trigger..but what we didn't know was that there was two...the first one I aimed for the head and I thought I missed so I aimed lower on what I thought was the same one..BAM right in the chest...we walked over there and there they were...ones head gone and one with half a body...lol...thats over kill but I know it might sound mean but my cattle are more important than a GH...they are mean little buggers.

mule659 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: Ground Hogs Never hit one with the bow but I go out to my buddies place all the time with the .17 hmr or the DPMS M4 model in .223 and let them have it! Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
