Great pictures and story. It appears that you are a "mature" prairie dog shooter. One that looks to take the high quality-high success shots. I'm still in the quantity shooting... I need lots of targets of opportunity and if the 17 isn't big enough, then the 204, if the 204 isn't big enough then.....
Love the 17's on the light to no wind days (my experience of those being far and few in between) out to about 300-350. Had one of those days in Nebraska last year and that was fun. Two questions: Do you have any concern about laying on p-dog mounds and getting more than you bargained for? Second, how much difference do you think the silencers make in keeping the d-dogs from going the hole? thanks, |

thekriebles--Thanks for the kind words about my post. I think my son appreciates going out with me. I make it very easy for him since he uses my rifle, I do all the reloading, all the barrel cleaning, and all he has to do is pull the trigger What's not to like I do enjoy having him along even if I have to do all the dirty work.
17brno--Glad you enjoyed the post. My son and I got over the encounter with the idiot. We just pretended the next few prairie dogs were the idiot and felt much better after pulverizing a few prairie dogs!!! tstowater-- Quote:
Second question: I think the suppressors definitely have kept the prairie dogs up out of their holes for some extra time. However, since the sonic boom doesn't disappear, they can still hear the sound, but don't know where it is coming from. When they see their buddies exploding around them, I think they get a sense that there is danger looming My main reason for purchasing and using suppressors is to protect my hearing.
