Last summer I took my son woodchuck hunting for the first time. After many trips to the range so that he is familar with my, I mean his 17hmr he was ready for some action. He spotted him at 125yds. The woodchuck kept on going up and down, not really long enough for him to get a steady shot. Finally he stood still long enough for a shot. At first I thought he missed because the hay was so tall. When we got up there to look there he was DRT. His smile was huge! Now I have a hunting buddy. He already claimed my HMR as his.

That's great you get out hunting with your son chuckhunter.

Hooked for life!!!

Cool! Look at it this way, now that he claimed "your" rifle you can get a new one! It's a win, win!!! Gary

Always good to see a dad and son enjoy the great outdoors together, whatever the pursuit.Ken

Good job, CH! Nice shot on your sons part too, I know it won't be his last.

Now: We know you 'need' another rifle, we know you have a camera and a son with a rifle who knows how to shoot. No excuses for not posting further adventures of this deadly team and any new hardware that may be added in the future, right?

Congratulations to both of you. I know the feeling of sharing the hunt. Unfortunantly here in Jersey my boys can't shoot hogs with a rifle till they are 18 so I have some years to wait. Great memories and I am sure more to come. Nice shooting....
