I'm assuming that 17 is not a pellet rifle?
Flying Woodchucks? Around here they run around 12 to 20#. It'd take
something much larger than a 17, but my 45 or ought six are a tad noisy for
the subdivision. 17 works right well on Chipmunks without waking the entire
neighborhood.
One Woodchuck can make a yard look like a backhoe had run amuck. They leave
a hole large enough for a small dog. Chipmunks leave small holes, but they
sure can move a lot of dirt. Chipmunks got into our egress window well and
decided to build a colony behind the timbers.They were destroying the window
well. They are fast, but stupid. My cat who is fast couldn't catch them,
but he discovered like in the cartoon, he only had to lay there until one
would run into him which resulted in one very well fed cat. The window well
has reverted to looking like a window well instead of a well used sand box
at the school playground.
