[QUOTE="JSHKS, post: 2582928, member: 103581"] There are pockets of a lot of dogs if you have never been before. If you have been before it is sparse at best and spotty. If I am not swapping rifles every hour it is slow. So some folks may say it’s great a d wonderful others will be sorely disappointed. I have been twice this year. Early it was ok. Later they had seen a lot of pressure and very educated. I took bigger rifles than normal the second trip, because I had been informed there had been a fair amount of folks go through. Zero use of rimfire and if it wasn’t a capable cartridge or rig at 300, no use of getting it out. 300 is where most available targets appeared and were steady. Majority of shooting was done by or before noon if mirage got bad. Some evenings were shootable but the heat was brutal. So we would get back out about 5-6 and stay till dusk. Mark your spots with latitude and longitude, some things change, those don’t. Dunno what you expect or what gear you have. Ran across a couple of fellows from the boot heel of Missouri, there honest numbers they said was between 80 and 100. Didn’t think that was terrible, then they said that was for the two of them for two days. I would say cover your bases. A good 223 would be as small as I would go, sorry even skip a 222, I did. Then a big 22 and or a 6mm. I would even say a 6.5CM not to be out of line for long shots. Most folks find out how little they actually know about there rigs. Even if few dogs, learn what you can. If that is expensive on the Rose Bud, what is $300-500 per day. I have shot a pile of them over the years, dunno if I have shot $500 worth yet. [/QUOTE]
