2011 Prarie Dog season opener
Yesterday was the season opener for Prairie Dogs on public land in Colorado. Lots of dogs and pups.
A buddy and I went out to a couple of towns that we frequent. This area is for Rimfire only so we used our .17 HMRs, lots of shooting. This is a area we walked around instead of just sitting on a hill. I used My Bog shooting tripod. We each shot close to 100 rounds and totalled about 60 dogs. Most of our shots sere in the 200+ yd range. Lots of fun, can't wait to get my 20 VartTarg going (I'm close). Dave |

My favorite shooting style too...
I am getting ready to leave this Saturday for some Nebraska prairie dogs. I like walking the towns and shooting off my Stoney Point shooting sticks. I like the mobility and ability to sneak up on to a mound over a rise and take out a group of pups or adults. When shooting from a bench and fixed location the dogs soon learn where the danger is coming. I have used my 17HMR for the walking style numerous times with 200 yard plus shots being no problem. My favorite rifle now for this is my 17AH and a close second my 20AB. Both rifles will decimate the dogs easily out to 300 plus yards. The hit ratio always is higher and the dogs stay up longer.
