The only other year round species we seem to have here is "Rock Dove".
They sure look like pigeons to me. Only place I ever see those are around the buildings downtown. Probably not the best place to go hunting.

Why hunt woodchucks? (groundhogs)

They are pigeons.
A bunch of years ago, just after my uncle had finished baling and left the big round bales in the fields, I managed to get 42 groundhogs in one day. The bales were great cover as you could simply walk up behind the bales to get within a reasonable (+/- 80 yards) distance. I used a Marlin .22 Mag bolt action rifle with a little fixed scope on it. Lots of food for the vultures after that!
Getting to shoot at 6 - 10 after supper was a great way to end the day.

Out at a buddy's near Long Point, his 22-250 would reliably vapourize the little buggers inside 200 yds.
PS there was one living on the Crumlin handgun range for a whole summer until they had to raise the berm!

Thats funny, at my range there is a sh!t load of groundhogs and bunnies with burrows all along the rifle range. There is an unspoken agreement that we are not shooting them.

Crows are good to go 10 months of the year.....
