Be nice to see the gun up close too.

There's a reason I'm not a professional photographer 😂🤣 it's a cheap ugly little gun that shoots fucken amazing with $hit cheap ammo. Once components are back in stock,  I want to load some with 125gr Sierra  Game King

Looks good to me. 👍

Thanks. It's a very lightweight gun, nice to carry. Really shoots well since I free floated the barrel completely.  Originally I planned to get a better stock for it, but it works sooo damn good as is, I see no reason to change ANYTHING. The scope is a Nikon Prostaff 5 3-14x40mm FFP BDC. Reticle gets a little fat with the magnification dialed up but acceptable still since its range is only about 400 yards or so

Gave the AR10 a break today. Hunted a smaller farm,  perfect for the Ruger Ranch 7.62x39.

Holy cow - either you came from Lilliput, or that is a monster ground hog!  That's a whole lot chunkier that what we know as ground hogs out here.... shoot - if you told me that was a young nutria I might believe you.   That bugger has some girth on him!

There's fatter ones out there. I wear a size 15 boot, should give decent scale to the size of the ground hog

The stuff that I see and know as "ground hogs" out here tend to be about squirrel sized critters - maybe a smidge bigger - but not much...

Groundhogs,  not prairie dog? 

Geographic location makes a difference too on animals. Whitetail tend to be 100lb + heavier in places in Canada compared to here. The coyote here in Pennsylvania are larger also than places like Texas,  Arizona' etc. Although ours are of a wolf hybrid.

You are exposing my ignorance regarding burrowing rodents...  I guess I've always equated ground-hogs with prairie dogs...   

I'm in AZ - in a semi-rural area north of Phoenix - I see coyotes not quite daily - but close.  I've never caught and weighed one - but I'd be surprised if the "big" ones near me weigh more than 25 - 30 lbs.  My uneducated eye says that they are skinnier than normal this year - probably due to the drought.

I believe your coyote "average " 35 to 40lb,. Ours average  45 to 50lb, we've shot a few up here 50lb +.  I think, could be wrong though,  you're in prairie dog country

There is a island between mainland and Vancouver Isl. called Texada and well populated by hippies and deer. The deer turn out to be a bit smaller then average due to all the grazing in the hippie gardens. Rumor has it the meat has a 'sweetish' flavor to it but haven't tried any myself.

Local coyotes here are in the 35-50lbs range and recently been a number of coyotes attacking people( joggers in particular) in and around Vancouver area. 

Downtown racoons are about twice the size of rural racoons here in BC.

You people do realize i am black?😡

To be honest, I can see how that sounds. But I didn’t read his post that way and fully mean city raccoons.  I could give a shiit if you were purple, pink or green, but knowing how that looks I’ll clarify I in no way intend my remark to be racist.

Only thing I saw racist was an elderly Asian woman claiming to be a black man just to pretend to be offended. Bad enough she can't drive for $hit, but damn!😲
