First one of the year

First one of the year - inside 20 yards on the a wood pile I didn't get around to cutting . 17hmr

Shot another one as well down by the creek- it got back in its hole but left lots of blood and hair behind .

Saw a third - a huge one but was slightly uphill from me and cows behind it so I cut east to get around it and when I came up the other side it was gone .

Damn I miss this all winter long

Thats a woodchuck, right? Being a vegetarian, those are actually pretty good eating. Slow cooked in a crockpot with potatoes, carrots, onions, green pepper....

They are good eating - a cousin to a pig but I do t care for them in the spring - to fatty and oily
