Dovehunter, at least some can. I can range a groundhog out to 650 (farthest I've tried) with my Leica 1200. IF I hold it steady- I often tripod mount it if I'm sitting in one place.
Another thing you can do with any rangefinder- if you can't get a good reading off the groundhog itself, you often can get a reading off the mound from his hole, a nearby rock, etc.
