My first confirmed P-Dog kill!

Thanks, and no not really. Plague, (if even present), would come from contact with siliva, blood, airbourne virus, or fleas. None of which contacted me or my gear. That, and the cause of death to any other varmints on scene was only by "lead poisoning", which also minimizes the likelihood. Now, had I made sushi out of the chubby little bastard like I was tempted to, that may be a different story...

Just joking with you. However, I am always wary of flees around prairie dog towns. We seem to get occasional cases of the plague down here around Colorado Springs - the ones I remember had to do with people walking or riding bikes within prairie dog towns and getting bitten by flees.

Funny story:
I shot prairie dogs just outside Schriever AFB between 1999 and 2003. The land we shot on was owned by the State and leased to a rancher, whom we received permission from to shoot the dogs. A couple of years later, Schriever AFB wanted to expand their boundary fence. Part of the new land included some prairie dog infested fields. Though Peterson AFB Public Health Group had tested the prairie dogs outside Schriever for plague for several years, they suddenly found evidence of the plague and therefore were authorized to eradicate them. Not all of them, just the ones within some distance of the new fence line.

I miss shooting on that property - the dogs were not very educated and would occasionally pop up within 100 yards. 55gr moly coated Hornady V-Max .223 was my preferred round for vaporizing the little varmints.

In the spring, when the young dumb ones are prevalent, were I shoot them we have had shots under 10 yards.

Very nice!

Hopefully they let ya shoot more than one of them. If they told you one was the "limit", they lied. Shoot'em all and don't stip shooting until ya can't see any more.

no limit, they're just hard to hit at 600+ yards lol.

Agreed. I have no limit on my property at all.

I invite folks out, ask them to bring their drinks and food for the grill, BBQ for everyone, and charge one fee: Kill all the damm PDogs you can.

I fear for my horses with all the damn mounds everywhere, plus we have a blast!

Thanks again for coming out guys. I have a Texas trip coming up so I have to delay the next meet. Looks like Sunday July 28th is our next meet! I will send out PM's to everyone. 00Tec will be there for this one!

00Tec...I received a challenge from my cousin when we go to El Paso. Get this... "Largest explosion". You game?

Got $150 to burn before we go? Or does anyone have a source for a decent sized bag of ammonium nitrate to create some tannerite? I'll get the catalyst.
We could make another disposable cannon...

Hmm now I'm intrigued by those noslers. Care to share some data?

[Buckaroobonsai]

Sure, "shoot" me a PM with your questions.
