killed the last one, so one of you guys can try the next one. Gotta be more than 213, though.” “What do you think of my idea?”
I asked Wise. “I guess it’s worth trying. At least it’s something different.” “You wanta try the next one, or
you want me to? It’s really your turn. You followed Chuck before.” “I’ll take it.” It was ten or fifteen minutes before
I spotted another ’chuck about 75 yards to the left of Chuck’s kill. Its body was partially concealed by a dark clump of grass. When I pointed it out, Chuck observed, “I don’t think it’s any farther than mine was.” He was wrong. The Bushnell
rangefinder read 221 when I pointed it. “Okay, I guess it’s technically farther then,” Chuck said. He grinned at me and winked. “We shoulda made a minimum addition of 25 yards, huh? Anyone can hit a critter that big at 220 yards.” “Two twenty-one,” Wisey said.

you agree that it’s 221 yards, which the laser says it is, I’ll shoot that critter in the head, just for you.” He did, too. That didn’t surprise me in the
slightest. I’ve hunted with Wise too many years, seen him shoot too many rifles, shotguns and handguns, to expect him to miss. Of course, there was that one time when Ken Warner, former Gun Digest editor, was ringneck hunting with

us and a rooster exploded out of a grassy clump between him and Wise and .… I never let either of them forget
that episode. Two shots each – all their guns held – and not even a feather. That’s what happens when a couple of guys try to beat each other, even on an easy chance. For a while no one said anything.
We were all busy with binoculars – what woodchuck hunters spend most of their time doing. Once a ’chuck is located, the shooting usually takes only sec- onds, though I occasionally find myself just watching one of the clover-eating
