I went back to my favorite permission to try and thin out more pests. I got there a little early but as soon as I pulled in there was around 30 to 40 pigeons sitting on a spill pile. That's always a good sign.
I stayed until a little after 5 and had a total of 5 invasives, 14 pigeons and 2 groundhogs. I shot both groundhogs at around 40 yards in under 5 seconds. Longest shot was a 73 yard high angle shot on a pigeon, dropped like a rock. Didn't recover the groundhogs, both did self burials when they slid back into their holes.
