woolybear Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Think this guy was heading off to hibernate and fell asleep on his way to the den!:sleep1: Not sure what his deal was, but I will say it's a little un-nerving laying down 4 feet in front of a giant rat with only a camera between your face and them big chompers! He made his way off in a hurry before the sun went down. :robot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Very cool Matt! We're getting a few more of them in the northwest part of the state. You didn't pull a Buckee on him after the pics? lol.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 All I see is a target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 The thought crossed my mind to club him with the tripod, but there were some deer in the field too! Didn't wan't him to whistle an alarm call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Great shots, Matt! Sometimes you can get close to those woodchucks, but that is as close as I have ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 One thing I really miss about central NY is woodchucks and woodchuck hunting. We don't have many of those up here. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Awesome pics Matt! He looks a little POed. Don't think he liked being in front of the camera. He sure would look good in the crosshairs of my .220 Swift though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Well update on chucky... A return trip to the field tonight turned out to be a sad ending to the big fella. Stiff as a board, covered in flys, and feet aiming towards the sky. Appreciate the photo opp ya dirty rat.:stretcher: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
