The county drain runs along the South edge of our farm, almost exactly 100 yards from the house. The woodchucks love to have a top hole in the hay field and escape hole in the ditch, either side. Growing up, it was perfect to sniper them from the attic window- shooting down, virtually unseen, closest house down range almost a mile and off to the side.
Since then, we remodeled and that attic window is now in my daughter's bedroom, usually off-limits to DAD! And some citiot built a house on the cross road about a quarter mile, right in our backdrop.
