Woodchuck-1, human-0.
In a battle to save his property from a destructive rodent, a 54-year-old man ended up shooting himself in the groin over the holiday weekend, according to Flint Township police.
The man, who had been having problems with a woodchuck tearing up his backyard, decided to take matters into his own hands at 6 p.m. May 26, said Flint Township Lt. James Iacovacci.
Iacovacci, who declined to identify the man or his address, said the shooter was trying to pull a .22-caliber gun from the pocket of a jacket he was wearing when the weapon accidentally fired.
The bullet entered and exited the man's groin, Iacovacci said. The victim, who was alone at the time, managed to drive himself to a local hospital, where he was treated for his injury then released.
Iacovacci said there was no word on the whereabouts of the woodchuck.

that’s a bit of overkill on the scope. an ar15 with open sites works just fine on them here in central MI. and you can get a whole mess of ‘em with out having to reload.
