That's one you shouldn't let go!

A rescue has him now. Its my understanding he will be sent to the state wildlife center

More prairie dogs with the 22-250 AI and 53 Vmax at 3700. Makes for some impressive acrobatics.

Did this coyote a favor - had some bad mange. I caught movement in the sage while playing some rabbit distress, but it never came out. Swapped over to a coyote fighting over prey and he popped on out. 22 Creed and 77 TMK.

Awesome! Pretty sure that I could hear that 77 hit him with a "crack"!!

The "thump" on it wasn't as audible as others I've shot, but it's nice to get some immediate feedback on a hit!

Took the 22-250 AI for a stroll through the canyon this morning. Ended up with 8 rock chucks. This was the only one I could get to as the rest were in some steep rocks. 53 gr Vmax is wicked.

Wasn't expecting this rattlesnake either! I have a sheep hunt coming up in August so I had my pack loaded and took a new trail to gain elevation. I brought my 22 Creed Sig Cross in case I ran into and rock chucks up high.

About stepped on the snake! Fortunately, the 22 Creed was enough to take it down. Will for sure be carrying a pistol next time.

Ended the day with a grand total of 109 prairie dogs today. They just seemed to keep coming out of their holes. 22 Creedmoor and 22-250 AI put in a lot of work!

Got out this morning with the 25/06 and it's bite was worse then it's bark. The first 2 were Sierra 70gr BKs @ 20 yds the last an 80gr. Barnes TTSX @ 350ish. Great day when your hand loads start to produce results.

Interesting find on my pdog trip. Rattlesnake had the dog by its head. He was still kicking when I walked by. 38spc shot loads took care of both of them.

This little bugger killed and ate its sibling while in the trap

Understandable, I tend to eat when I am bored or nervous as well.
If I am ever trapped in an elevator, it would probably be best if I was alone.
