wwillson Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 My cousin and I are going on a Bovine protection mission in September to South Dakota. Ok, "Bovine protection mission" really means shooting prairie dogs, enough with the PC speech. We'll be shooting our Bushmaster Varminters hopefully from sun up to sun down. We hope to shoot about 1,000 rounds each, but that might be a bit optimistic. If we can keep from getting sunburned, bitten by a rattle snake, and not get rained on it should be great fun. This is the first time shooting prairie dogs for both of us. If anyone has any pointers, suggestions, or hard lessons learned we would be interested in hearing from you.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwillson Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 From what I've heard, it's the most fun a human can have (almost). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnewton3 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Let me know how you like it; I've considered such a trip, but don't have any good first-hand info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtell Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Will you be walking or shooting from a bench? One of my hunting buddies went out west a few years ago to shoot P-Dogs with his .243 and he said most of their shooting was from portable shooting benches. Shoot for a while, drive to another spot and shoot some more. The ranchers family, on whose property they were shooting, even made them all dinner for helping out with his varmint problem. Just from what he told me, you should have a great time. Good luck and keep us updated as to how things went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 We plan on driving to a good spot and shooting from portable benches and driving to another spot - just as you describe. I can't wait to get there and let the games begin!Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
