    Scope recommendations for Prairie Dogs

    12x Luepold is my favorite scope inside 350 yards. Mirage will limit power to less than 16x most of the time. Less power also helps YOU see impacts and misses!

    Don't underestimate old guy strength

    Peak at 31 old by 36 LOL For me I may have been in better shape at 31 but peaked at around 45 due to being a little smarter. Getting in between a fight between a 50 ton crane and a 400 ton mining box in 2006 slowed me down a LOT At 62 the poor kid today thought he could catch up once we started...

Heavy for calibar and lower velocities are key Thier the most consistantly available Open prairie helps but very few go anywhere but straight down! Suppressors and range really help. I dont hunt much under...

    This kinda sucks….

    With a little luck and encouraging that little girl might like to shoot too. In the mean time your supplies and firearms dont cost you anything if stored properly. Took almost 30 years for my little girl to give hunting a try. Worth the wait and patience!

    A Bit Off of the Usual Topics, but….

    Maybe not hate but sold was a 20ga Mossberg.... It shot a slug better than any other shotgun ive ever sean BUT the action just like everybody elses beloved 870 is wrong when you cut your teeth on a 1200 Winchester. Another none hated gun but got sold was a 300bea after a shoulder injury. Yet...

    How Often Do You See Rattlesnakes PD Hunting?

    That reminds me. The last three rattlers I glisorined? None of them were taken off a town and prairie rattlers are usually bland and small

    How Often Do You See Rattlesnakes PD Hunting?

    Way back we we was rookies had a friend squeal like a girl when one came out of the mound he was shooting off of. Some towns are thick others are barren of snakes you’ll know when you know

    Number of shot opportunities

    Whitetail buck years ago=6 rounds. The scope got bumped hard enough on the old 1200 Winchester that I fired 5 rounds at 75 yards and the fool stood there and let me do it. There i was standing with an empty gun and no more rounds...or so I thought. Started walking back to the farm when I found...
