Groundhogs have long been a challenge hunting for airgun hunters or not, and many people say that .22 Long Rifles do not have enough power to dispatch them but i beg to differ. I do not have 700$ to spend on a PCP gun that delivers 55 FPE, but do have the money to spend 100$ on a 13 FPE rifle. The Crossman Storm X-T in .177 is my weapon of choice.

September in Virginia is a cool and dry month and the whistle pigs love it, and therefore so did I. My dad's chicken coup had been overrun by groundhogs so me and my Storm went to work. Early in the afternoon around 1:00 PM i saw a groundhog stick his head out and look at me as i was passing, i loaded my Storm and aimed at his eye, but at the last minute he moved and i missed him by inches, seeing the dirt kick up behind him. Mad that I missed I went to do something else that would take my mind of it. Later that day i checked the coup again and that gray-headed monster had his head out, this time was mine. I grabbed my Storm loaded with Rocket pellets, i squeezed the trigger and put the truo-glo fiber optic sight on his forehead. Once the 3 lbs of pressure was pulled on the gun that pig was out cold.
