Woodchuck hunting was the greatest rifle sport for us. I live in CT and also have a place in VT.
Back in the late 50's we used to drive to the NY border and hunt the farms there. I could get maybe an average of nine chucks a trip. It was fabulous hunting on the dairy farms there.
The only predators where the fox and maybe a rare mountain lion. There were no coyotes.
Now the coyote seems to have ruined my hunting. While I don't want the chuck 'protected' I would not shoot one right now as they are so scarce.
The old 'chuck country' with no woodchucks.
