Unless i'm mistaken, groundhogs are woodchucks/rodents. Wild hogs/boars were imported from Europe and are hunted in the US and not raised on a farm.Leave a comment:

Hi...
25-06 guy. Thanks...but premature. I didn't mean to imply that I was taking 'chucks from that distance...only that it was accurate to that distance.
I did, however, get a deer at that distance with the Carbine.
A 'chuck at that distance would probably be completely covered by the front sight with the M-1, and would indeed be a "hard" shot...!!Leave a comment:

We don't have very many ground hogs in my part of the country (Iowa), due to the high coyote population, so I don't hunt 'em very much. When I do I use my Marlin .22 Magnum with a Simmons 3-9x40 on top; with the right load and a solid rest it's deadly out to 125 yards.
@MNwhitetailHunter, just out of curiosity, you do know that ground hogs are not the same as wild hogs, right?Leave a comment:

Wild hog tastes like very lean domestic pork, maybe a little tougher due to lifestyle. Eat the ones under 150 lbs. Not gamey at all.Leave a comment:

Does wild hog taste anything like domestic pig? I'm guessing there is some gamey flavor to it if the meats not spiced up?Leave a comment:

Thats some good shooting Bob. I can do the 22lr but no semi centerfires in my state. I like my 22-250 with a 6-18 nikon for the far shots.Leave a comment:

Hi...
Optics? You're kidding me! Just the good old open- sighted .22, or the good old .30 cal. M-1 Carbine with peep sights (good to 300-yards)...!!
