Motorhead, you are from Idaho, never heard of whistle pigs til I moved here, I've seen many but no, not enough meat on there bones!

Sub. Aven. He was missing his tail(see pic) so I left him, but did find a fur buyer for future.

They are destructive varmints on farms and ranches because cattle can injure themselves stepping on the burrows. In the east, we hunt them with a .22-250 but you are right; they are pretty much a fat squirrel.

Technical name is Townsend ground squirrel, yes they are a fat squirrel and they are very destructive. They are a varmit hunters dream, my buddy and I could go through a brick of 22LR shells in an hour or two each, non stop shooting literally!! I have 5 30rnd 10/22 clips and couldn't reload fast enough. I used to live there but I am from CA. (don't know if that's a good thing or not)LOL they definitely make for some epic shooting. Your over in Weiser I had a place with some acreage over in Sand Hollow. Shot a few Deer over that way.

Tim we had them down in the valley. Richard and I used to shoot them after dove hunting but they were poisoned and the population dropped to nothing. They are fun to shoot and are good practice. Maybe you can make a stew.
