RE: South Jersey wood chuck
Just stop in to your local farmer, they are always looking to get rid of them! I usaully offer to work on the chuck's all summer & backfill the holes in the fields in exchange for deer hunting rites in the fall. I also give a body count so he can see how hard i'm working for him... good luck( It works! I live in jersey too, I'll keep you in mind . where are you from)

That's a great idea to work for the farmers, could get you some corn to bait with also for bow season.
I know you can't use rifles for deer in jersey...what can you varmint hunt with?

You can use rifles on private ground with the correct paperwork, not on public property. Some farmers will let you wack them, some will trade for deer hunting but in my area of NJ, most ground worth deer hunting is leased and farmers realize they make more money from the leases than they loose to chucks. I'm down to only one farm for rifle shooting, every time I turn around there are new houses going up somewhere around here and it's just not safe to shoot.
Here is one that didn't get away..Remember that commercial about "this is your brain on drugs", well this is your brain on 55gr BT's...LOL
