My stepdad's sister has a problem with groundhogs tearing up her garden from about May to late September. While she would rather trap them (she has tried and does not move them far enough away) my stepdad has given me permission to shoot them since they create holes around the property. Noise is an issue and I am more than likely going to use a .22 rimfire, shots will be short, maybe 30 yards since they walk right by the garage where we are always working. Would a .22 short work at these ranges or would a long rifle be more suited?
