Got out groundhoggin' yesterday

Still recovering from a hit of the flu last week and had to get out of doors yesterday. Figured that shooting a groundhog or two may just cure what ails me. Have been holding off doing any hunting so far this year but being cooped for a week clinched it.
It took awhile to walk into the farm with vertigo that comes and goes, but when I got to the shooting spot it was worth the effort.
Nailed a scraggly buck that reared its head up to me at 168yds in a stubbly corn field and missed 3 at 359, 368 and 487yds. Did I mention it was windy...
The 22-250 sure shoots nice with some left-over Starke 55gr hp's.
Saw a total of 15 chucks at this farm that I haven't hunted in about 4 years. Also saw some more holes that appear to be active.
Looking forward to Summer...
