KAYR1, What county do you hunt in in Pa.
??
I used to go to Clearfield and Indiana Co. for 'chucks but always hunted in July and Aug. I could never bring my self to shoot 'chucks in March to May. It is plenty legal, just something I couldn't do.
Four or Five years ago I was hunting in Pa. in the fall, and went to a gunshow in Pitt. Ran in to an old guy there who was quite a chuck hunter. I believe he hunted 4or 5 farms in Greene Co. He was asking about a base for a 40X Remington. The guy he was talking to ask if he got many chucks that year. He said he has shot one the day before. He went on to say he had only shot 340 odds chucks that year as he had spent alot of time trout fishing in Somerset Co. where he grewup. I really paid attention to this guy.
Visited with him a little while. He said he was making a .2506 for shooting close to buildings so it wouldn't be so noisy
!!!!WOW, I now really listened. He said he was retired and had 4 40 X Remingtons all chambered for the 30-338 wildcat!!! Plus he had the old 6-24 B & L scopes on each one.
It was interesting. I always wanted to hit Green Co. but never did. My girlfriends daughter in law is looking at buying a farm in Pa. I told her to get one with lots of 'chucks and deer. I am sure she can fine one with chucks, but deer , who knows.
Hope you have a good trip. I will spend Easter hunting coyotes, but may do some chucking in July. What kind of .22-250 are you shooting?
? How about a scope?? I had a couple 6-20 Leupolds fitted with dots out to 600 yards for Pa. chuck shooting after I retired. Used them some, but haven't hit it as hard as I thought I would. It is still a great sport. Either my favorite or close. It is hard to tell what I like best: deer, varmits, or bird hunting with my little golden.
