Groundhogs are found around crops such as alfalfa, clover and most any hay crops. Pastures are good places too. Corn fields in the fall are good places to look for them. Railroad beds are a great source. Look for them around ditches and stream banks. Back

I hunt groundhogs by scouting an area such as a field by looking for holes in the field or around the field edges. I either drive around the edges, if I can stay out of the crop. Most of the time I will find a place that is higher than the area I'm hunting and just sit and glass the area. Back

The best caliber for groundhogs out to 300-400 yards is anything in a .22 caliber center fire, say a .223 up. To 500 yards or beyond I recommend something in a 6mm such as the .243, 6 mm br, 6 mm Remington. Back
