#5 at about 85 yrds. 1 shot from the HMR and it dropped where it stood. All have been on the opposite side of the ditch and I am too lazy to walk around to get pics.
Momma is gone. Kept poking up out of the den while I was mowing around the bridge over our creek. Parked the mower about 20 feet away behind overhanging branches and waited about 5 minutes and she came out and breathed her last.

OMG, how many whistle pigs drop from handguns period? Let alone a snubby!
LOL. I've killed 4 with the snubby in the last 2 years. Most memorable and "breaking my arm patting myself on the back" shot was shooting one that was running at about 10 yards. I was HOOAH! Over that as I suprise myself sometimes. I've killed several with my 9mm Shield plus and one of my favorites is my Ruger MkIII with a Weaver 2.5-8 x 28 scope mounted on it.OMG, how many whistle pigs drop from handguns period?

I shoot them with what I have on me (this one of my EDC pistols) if I have a good shot. At 20 feet I surely cannot or should not miss. The little 360 AirWeight is an accurate little gun.
My biggest issue with groundhogs are damage done to the foundations of my out buildings. About 5-6 years ago our ditch bank washed out when a heavy rain hit the area and the overflow from the field hit the groundhog hole and turned it into a water jet washing away about 30 feet of bank into the creek.
I've killed 3 in the past 2 days. And it was with a pellet pistol. But my 'hogs look different than y'all's. 
Those are fun to shoot too especially when they're eating in our garden.I've killed 3 in the past 2 days. And it was with a pellet pistol. But my 'hogs look different than y'all's.

15" .20 VarTarg that I need some time behind too.
We'd whistle at 'em so they'd stand up then shoot when we were kids.
I still do that when I see one in the grass but can't see enough of the head or body to make a good shot.
I can't whistle well, so just blast em as they are LOL Rarely pop one standing.
Standing chucks......helps when you don't know the range for sure-just hold on the neck and high or low your gonna get em.

I shot a young one yesterday evening from about 65 yds with my Marlin 60 and a CCI mini-mag. I have plenty of more "fun" options in the safe, but the 60 is always at the ready, and I have taken critters with it out to 100yds, so I'm confident with it. In fact it really makes a guy wonder why he owns so many rifles....lol!
