When my grandfather died, grandma didn't want to have his guns around the house anymore. That summer, I was living only about 2 miles from her and decided to keep his garden going as a good excuse to go over and check on her and figured the garden would give her something to play with a bit.
By the end of the summer, she realized why I kept it going, thanked me for visiting her and the veggies, but told me that ought to be the last garden, as she was getting too old to keep running up the hill to the garden and killing woodchucks with a shovel! I never ask how many she took down that way, but still laugh like hell just thinking about her going after them. It never dawned on me that Papa took care of them the easy way.

I had a young one dig in under a barn slab.
I think I annoyed her enough before she found all the vegetables in the garden because the second time I shoved rocks in the entrance hole she never came back.
I think if she had found all the veggies it would have been war.

air rifle vs wood chuck = no contest. ( some peta idiots got them protected here in WI, there are some exceptions) Owls, Hawks, Fox, weasels seem to be doing ok on the rest of the vermin. Got a Long tail weasel crusin the wood piles, only got eyes on it twice so far, pair of kits cruise through almost daily. Haven't seen the coyotes all summer this year. Haven't found a rabbit on the property in person in over 4 years, see some tracks in the winter once in awhile in fresh snow. Don't mind the squirrels ( gray) but them little red ones are on the hit list along with the ground squirrels-chipmunks/ skunk,possum,raccoon.

Yessur.... the .22 numbs up all kinds of vermin here as well. I don't even tell my wife now, she just hears a pop outside once and a while, and asks "did you get him?"

For some strange reason vermin only enter our property once.

A little Duke 1.5 foothold will make him wait for you at a handy place until you have time to go searching for him.
I hate waiting for them to make an appearance. I generally have better things to do.

.223 works well from 140 yards too
I've got my scope sighted in for about 50yards as thats about as far away as anything I can see here.

I've got one of those Tshirts..... I get so many comments on it! All the comments are great, or asking where I got it. It's the looks that some people give, that make me think "Hmmm I bet that person believes in unconstitutional gun control too" LOLOL

just need to train them to only chuck standing dead and do it in a neat orderly fashion for easy c/s/s on our part, must say we love the beavers up here down by the river they have debarked standing dead ash that is pencil straight and split to the center its ready to burn before it even hits the ground

Switch to a 308 Win / 30-06, and be sure the job's done right. That is, unless you actually want something left to eat out of it.
