Big,
groundhogs here are still learning to adapt to the newly populated coyotes, so there aren't long range shooting with any regularity at them, if they den in an open field they don't last long, a few along the roadbanks and where they have close cover but not in these 100 acre fields. I've taken 5 this year all with a 17 HMR, farthest shot about 150 yards.
All I ever shoot from is a bipod with rear bag, preload the pod and its just as steady as a bench.
I did get to wring out the gibbs was holding 8-9" groups at 1060 from a field position, still to hot to break out the big 7.
