Shot some prairie dogs over the weekend.

[Jonesy]

Went and did a little clean up work. My buddy has been working hard on poisoning prairie dogs this year on his ranch. He figured he had about 1100 acres of them. He obviously didn't get them all, but did a pretty good job. It was really strange to see all the grass where there was PD towns. There were little pockets of PD all around the edges and a couple areas where a few moved. Shot a couple hundred or more, used a 17hmr and a 223, most were young ones. He was going to disc some areas this week. I can understand, but it was one of my better places to go. They never got shot unless I went down and that was only once or twice a year and mainly to bring a kid or an old buddy.

I guess I'll have to see what's going on at the PD towns on some of my family's ranches, haven't been out there for years.

After all these years I was kind of bored with shooting prariedogs, but I kind of had a good time with the small bores. Used a buddys 17, that really impressed me with shots 200yds or less. It was a little tack driver and really did the trick on PD's. But the 12 bucks a box to shoot that 17hmr is a little stout.
