[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 910405, member: 69478"] Man you've had a lot of experience prarie dog hunting! I have never hunted P-Dogs but would love to, there isn't any back East so stuck hunting groundhogs on local farms. Those groundhogs are TOUGH and sometimes can take a solid body hit as close as 300yds with a .308 WIN. loaded with 168gr SMKs and crawl off into the hole. So headshots are the normal with match bullets or standard hunting slugs, we also make headshots with explosive bullets to gurantee kills. Small .17 caliber rifles often are only good for shots under 100yds and .20s out to 300yd with no wind. Most shots here are 250+ so our smallest rig is .222 REM. for short shots on those little tanks. I can see though how a light caliber setup would excel on prarie dogs though, you do lots of shooting and they're smaller than groundhogs so require less horsepower to take them down haha! [/QUOTE]
