Was trying to get a badger yesterday that a farmer is having trouble with. It was kind of windy again, always a bad sign when hunting badgers or Rock Chucks because they always hunker down in low spots where it hard to spot them.
I didn't see the badger although I did find a fresh hole he had dug but on my way back I spotted this huge Rock Chuck I've been trying to get for a couple of weeks. He's a smart old dude, always see's me coming & ducks down & then I just see one eye ball peeking over a Lava rock. I eased out of the truck & slowly put the sandbags on the hood & nestled the 25 TCU on top & waited. He wouldn't budge, we've played this game for days, probably played it last year with him.
Anyway after a few minutes I let out a soft whistle & he raised up about half his body for a better look, I touched off one of those neat little 70 gr Sierra Blitz blood seekers & punched his ticket, finally. Shot was 138 yds in a pretty touchy wind. He's a real pig, one of my biggest ever. Reminds me of a Dawg I know, no neck!
