people wouldn't do it. She would grab her 22 cal. rifle (a 70 old lady, with her 90 year Mom), and stand on the front porch, wait for their groundhog to show up again, and try and shoot at her/the groundhog. As the grandson/great grandson, what could I say? If anything, they would load the gun for me, and tell me to shoot at it. I never managed to hit it, but perhaps that was a deliberate 'miss' attempt?

We did the same thing (try to shoot) the tiny chipmunks too, eating their tomatoes. Can you imagine hitting a tiny chipmunk, some 100 feet away? It's a little hard to do, even w/ my eyesight back then, which was a hell of a lot better then. Ha ha heh. I love my grandmas back then. Miss them still terribly.
