There are at least two woodchucks living around my girlfriends house, and tonight her land lord gave me the green light to blast everyone I see. I don't know much about "hunting" woodchucks since I usually shoot them as targets of opportunity and not on purpose.
My questions to you guys are: Are woodchucks creatures of habit? I have seen one between 5pm and 7pm two of the last three nights in the same place. Will it show up about the same time everyday if I leave it alone from now (I snuck up on it using cars as cover and got about 8 yards from it tonight since I couldn't help myself? Should I continue looking for their hang outs and dens or am I over educating them and making them harder to kill? I kicked one up this evening, after I spooked another/the same one an hour earlier, but couldn't shoot it because it was between me and my girlfriends house/cars. I followed him into her garage so I know where at least one lives. Also what are their active times? Thanks for the help and bear with me since I know I'll have more questions. |

Round up some 50 gallon drums and fill them with water. Then find a hole and start filling. You'll find the other end pretty quick.
Another option is smoke bombs, but I've never really been a fan of them. I regularly hunted them a few years ago with a .410 and I found that was about perfect for them. They do have habits and you can almost predict where they will be most of the time. Have fun and be safe
