Well, regarding that rockchuck, not only did he not go into the live trap, but apparently more showed up on the bridge and they dug two new holes right at critical areas for bridge support in the last day.
So off to Cabelas this morning to buy some of that Hornady varmint .223 that fragments (steel bridge and ricochet concerns) and two of them are not only dead, but like the antigunners say, they were obliterated. Good ammo. I shot a couple of 50 yard three shot groups on my range and they were "good enough" close to my regular range 5.56 that I didn't need to mess with my scope. First time I've hunted with a can. I like it. The .223 did not cycle reliably though in my piston .223 Wylde rifle.
The game cam is still alerting me about movement, so there's at least one more there. That'll be tomorrow morning.
