About those groundhogs...

My shootin' might have been better than I originally thought.

We've had no grazers since I popped and dropped the one in its tracks. That could mean that the two I shot at just prior to that (the ones I though I missed because the scope was off) may have been able to get off into the tall weeds and maybe even into their den but they could have suffered mortal wounds. Since groundhogs are pests and not food or game animals, I didn't follow up on my "missed" shots the way I would for deer, bear, or even squirrel: no search for blood droplets, no circle search from where last seen, etc.

There are lots of "maybes" and "could haves" in that previous paragraph, however evidence (or lack of sightings) seems to be pointing to a successful eradication of the local groundhog population, however.
