[QUOTE="DarryH, post: 2431537, member: 77108"] I shot one back when I was a kid on the farm in Iowa. The area was NOT known for them, and I only saw two in all the years on the farm. I was upstairs in my bedroom. I looked outside and saw this monster woodchuck down by the corncrib. I ran for my .22 rifle. Back then it was a Coast-to-Coast bolt action with a tubular magazine; I found out later it was made by Savage, I had a Bushnell 2-7x20mm scope. (3/4" tube) The shot was downhill and about 60-70 yards. I was almost shaking because of how big this thing was. I don't think I even thought about missing back in those days. I had one dead chuck. It was almost as long as my rifle, which would have been 40 inches. I have never seen another as large. The second one I killed was also from that same window. He was half the size of the first one!!! Both of them ended up as fox bait, [/QUOTE]
