[QUOTE="tulku, post: 123366, member: 5203"] Abinok , I really appreciated those pictures . They brought back fond memories of a Pdog hunt near Lubbock , Texas maybe 10 years ago . I had just got over a bad bout of Arthritis and booked with Texas Prarie Dog Safaris . Larry Pate ran it at that time and was a great guy to deal with . As I could not walk very well , he arranged everything and all I had to do was shoot and clean . I was using a Ruger 220 Swift and an old Model 70 in 257 Roberts . With the light wind at my back , I made 2 kills with 2 shots at 635 Yards with the Swift and probably could not do that ever again . Larry paced off those shots using a Surveyors Wheel . I also got a Pdog at 942 Yards , but I won't say how many shots that took . Let's just say the Swift bullets were moving feet in every direction at that range . I'm smarter now , and will be using 142 Grain 6.5s for long Range shots hopefully next year ! I hunted in September or October , and the weather was just perfect . However , as you say , when the wind blows .... it really blows . I can remember one day when even 300 Yard shots were difficult . I can remember the Hawks and even a big Bull Snake which gorged themselves on the Pdogs I had just shot . So thanks again for jogging my memory .....reminds me to pull out the old VHS Tape I made of that hunt ! [/QUOTE]
