No. Man, those suckers are tough to skin.
This isn't about eating them, but a friend is a rifleman. Any rifle he acquires is not truly his until it has killed a groundhog. He bought a Remington .416. I asked him if he used solids or soft points. "Soft points," he deadpanned. He said he caught one out in the open at about 20 yards and put a round through the center. The chuck up and took off on a run and collapsed at the entry to its hole some 30 yards away. He said inasmuch as the bullet had not opened up, my comments about their tough skin did not stand up to the facts.
