I ran over that groundhog with the old Packard. The roadside was by an elderly farm couple that paid us to kill all the groundhogs on their place because the farmer broke an axle of his hayrack in a ground hole in the hayfield. He paid us 25 cents for each one. Iowa bounty paid the same so we doubled our money. Norma 7.65 costed twenty five cents per round, a huge amount then. The last groundhog lived under his car garage and raided his wife's garden. When I shot that one, he laughed and paid me a whole dollar. The year was probably 1958. The year I ran over the groundhog was probably1960.
When my brother and I shot the groundhogs for the couple, we were too young to drive so we walked there. The place was 3 1/2 miles from home. It took quite a few trips until we had all the groundhogs shot.
