PD shooting *****Lots of Picts and graphic*****

First off if these are too graphic I will take them down. But I don't think they are too bad.

I went out again near Sterling, CO to shoot some PDs on a friends fathers land and his neighbors. This was my second time out with my .204 and 17HMR. We shot at three towns total. All were on private land and the owners want them shot to keep the population down or they will poison all of them. BTW we also see lots of Burrowing Owls at each town.

These first three pictures are large panoramic shots so I'll just post links

I don't have a picture of the third town, it is a lot smaller.


This one was taken with the 17 at about 120 yards

This one came up and was barking possibly trying to warn the ones on the other side of the fence that we were shooting at. I turned and hit him hard with the HMR and it fell over like a bowling pin, DRT.

My best shot of the day was this one at 385 yards with the .204. Measured with my Nikon range finder.

Ahhhh, Prarie Dog fall down, go Boom. Or is that Go Boom and fall down?




:twisted:

Awesome pics. I need to find a place to shoot those things. I saw PD shooting graphic pics and was wondering why the heck I hadn't heard about that on the news yet [roll]

thats not 'graphic' if you compare that to some of the really graphic pics of pd out there.

.204 @ 225 yds was the most graphic, but my stomach had no problems with it.

awesome! looks like u had a fun day :D

Sweet!

I am leaving on Thursday to go do the same thing. I will bring some photos.

I have seen those videos. I got one to fly about 4 feet into the air while doing several back flips.

I am going out again this weekend, I'll get more picts, maybe video.
