    I was fortunate enough last night to capture this whole hunt with my camera. This was one fat woodchuck. I bet the whole family will be fat and happy for a few days of this guy...

    Thanks guys
    Yeah Chuck - I've seen coyotes carrying them around but I've never actually seen a fox take one down, it was quite a sight.

    I had a front row seat to my brothers beagle/border collie mix catch and kill 2 woodchucks. She stalked them and dispatched both in seconds. She got between them and their holes... when I caught up in both cases the chucks attention was diverted for just a split second off the dog. That's all it took for her to grab them both by the back of the neck and shake them to death.
