First woodchucks this year.

Woodchucks are just starting to venture out here and a nearby just mowed field got me out on Monday. I took five of them with my CZ527 Varmint, .204 Ruger, of course. 
The largest was 13.5 lbs, pretty large for a spring chuck.
The most fun were the two little ones at the same hole at 295 yards.
At about eight inches long they are harder targets, but dumber, meaning I got a second shot. (Didn't factor in the 10 mph wind the first time.)Twelve, 15 minutes later and they were back out. This time I held about 2.5" over and an inch to the left , Woody disappeared. But Chucky remained, undisturbed. Did the same hold again and Chucky did a helicopter in the scope! Both were pretty well taken apart by the Sierra 39BK.
I'd like to post some pix but need to sign up with a photo website, haven't done that before. What's one that works easily for you guys? I have a tin can and string dial up, nothing else available out here in the boondocks. Thanks.[/i]
