First off I want to point out I will not go sniper on him. This is just a fun thread and I don't want anyone to think I am crazy!!!!!! How do you predict the spring? Dale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_day

Yeah with that .243 you can end winter for us or make it longer if you miss.
The sportsman lives his life vicariously. For he secretly yearns to have lived before, in a simpler time. A time when his love for the land, water, fish and wildlife would be more than just part of his life. It would be his state of mind

I myself am praying for an early spring. As a side note my daughter was born March 20TH the first day of spring. She will be 12 years old on the 20TH. Dale

Shela was probably thinking about a H&R/NEF handi 22 instead of a bolt gun, that was why
shela came to the H&R/NEF forum to see Handis not bolt guns. ::)

I had a groundhog  cause $3,000 worth of damage to my  minivan. All groundhogs here are now shot on sight.
