That makes sense. They can easily be hit with a .22 as long as they don’t see you first. Good luck!
That’s the problem: “if they don’t see you first”!
The rascals are SO observant, if they see a door or window open, they’re gone. I read about one guy who got so frustrated with a groundhog diving in its hole every time he opened the screen door, he finally just shot it through the screen!
