Hunting with 360 Airweight

[upcountry]

Down here in SE AZ, we have javelina. Our front yard is a javelina highway. When I take my dog out at night, we've had a couple of encounters with them, been charged by a couple of them once. Now I take a LCR in .22, loaded with Stingers.
One night a group ran across the drive in front of us, one turned and came at us. I had the chance to get off one shot, he turned and went into the brush. Next day I found him dead in the brush. He was a male, about 40 lbs with good size tusks. Nasty critters.

Another one taken this afternoon with the 360 Airweight. I was mowing the back yard and saw him running out of the garden. ...

I think you must be one helluva shot to — while mowing, no less! — shoot a groundhog on the fly with a snubby...

Well done!

I will say that the shot was a blessing and nothing more. The little gun points naturally and I was surprised that I hit it.

I wish you guys would take a few dozen groundhogs alive and send them down to us. The coyotes put a hurt'n on them almost to extinction. We shot several hundred a year out of same fields and never dented them. We need seed stock. A lot of animals depend on groundhog holes for their own dens.
I think if Ghogs come back the rabbits will follow. It's hard to tell because the Coyotes either are up the small animals or ate them out.

I think you need to concentrate on the coyotes.

My vote goes to raccoons. If they're within 100-feet of anywhere, kill them.

That's good shooting with the little 360. I don't like to kill stuff I don't eat but can understand the need to do away with burrowing animals when buildings and livestock are at risk.

Ground hogs are terrible for cattle. Back about 20 years ago lived in mnts of Va., friend had a farm we turned into a hunt club. Neighbor had cows and had ghog problem. Friend and I had .17's which worked well on ghogs. We cleaned them out, real pests. Great shooting with a snubby!

We didn't have Ground hogs we had Badgers. they would do the same thing dig big holes under the barns or in the pasture. They had to go!!!!

For those who asked why he shot it, you're showing your city cousin side.

My wife and I hunted "woodchuck" for years. Every year, a farmer buddy would call and ask us to come up. One year, he leased out a very small patch of land to a guy who grew "organic" stuff for local restaurants that were catering to 'special folk' up from the city for weekends. Within a matter of weeks, the 'new guy' approached us and asked WHY were we needlessly killing those creatures. Rather than explain something to a liberal, we just never went back there. I figured my buddy could either help him understand, throw him off the land, or fight the mighty woodchuck himself. I apologized to my friend and went elsewhere where there were no liberals in the immediate area. p.s. those places are rapidly disappearing. p.p.s. Nice shooting with that Airweight.

IMHO as always,
J
