If you can get into a dog town that's 100 to 200 acres in size and haven't been shot at much or at all and you get there when the pups are just starting to run around the hole, it's not uncommon to shoot that many rounds. A lot of times you can get as many as 4 to 5 shots at the same hole. My Brother and I had just a place many years ago. We could burn up a brick of 22 shells for close dogs and use our 22-250's for farther dogs and shoot 500 rounds a piece. We still couldn't put a dent into the towns and the guy had them poisened. Usually you can't get that good of a job by poisening them but this guy that did this job was good and he got a lot of them. Really hated to see that, but I can sure understand it from a Ranchers point of view.
