your rock chucks look like our eastern groundhogs they must be kin.
What kind of sling do you have on your gun in the pics I like the way it carrys, is it comfortable to carry that way.

Rock chucks (marmots) are just about like a ground hog, except they have more orange in their coloration.
I carry most of my guns on a sling or in my Eberliestock pack. I usually carry behind me but for picture taking I moved it around to the front.
This partiular sling (I don't know the name of it) is a regular rifle sling but it came with a release buckle (snap) on the long side of the rubber padding. I put and extention strap and another buckle on the short side so the pad will ride on the middle of my shoulder.
The buckles are GREAT for hunting. With the sling over my head I can just unsnap the buckle and take the rig off. Otherwise I would have to take it off over my head. This is faster and alot less movement. Hope you can see the buckles in this pic
