last spring i was hunting them and heard them chirpn real close to me, i belly crawled over this little ridge in teh cayon, spoted about 10 laying on rcoks talkn to eachother. i had down hill shot. and the range wasnt more than 50yds
the 2506 blows them to peices and so do rock fragments, i ended up getting 6 or 7 of em. some would just splatter on the rocks and other we go air bor with guts flying over hear a leg there and everywhere. i had so many body peices laying around i gave up on counting them.
ive also sent a few airborn from bout 300yds when there laying just right and i guess i must be squeezn the trigger alittle difrent then normal.
i remember one time i was walking along this rock rim, it wasnt vertical over the edge but it was close. im walkn along packn the 2506 and chuck spots me and dives over the rim and takes off running. i did the same and slid to my bellow over the edge of the rim with my elbows. suporting the rifle. i wouldnt have had shot but he decided to stop and look back and see if it was safe just before he went down another ledge. i already had a bead on him before he stopped. the instant he stopped and started to turn around i squeezed.
he just dissapeard out of my veiw. i new i got him so i went and looked. sure enough i sent him off 30ft cliff, no wonder he stopped.
ive got a heck of rock chuck spott if you wanna come. its bout a 2 mile hike, but its worth it, ive never ounce seen anyone else come in hunting chucks. and theres lots of chucks in there. it in one of the steep rugged nothing but rocks kinda country, you know the kind. me and the 2506 realy had alot of fun last season, id like to have atleast one 22/250 rolling for this spring, and i will. even if i have to take the 3-9 off my 270wsm to do it.
