I'll be darn. Never heard of groundhogs on the snow. I remember hunting them a lot when I was younger and only had a .22. But boy was that fun. They use to cause a lot of damage to soybeans here, but the coyotes moved in and I seldom see them anymore. I saw two last year during my to work comute, and one of them was right in a little town. The one I saw the other day was about 1/2 the distance and closer to my house. Maybe someday there will get to be enough to hunt again. Sure do miss it!
Good luck on hunting them this year. I'd like to try my .223 on a few sometime.
