You shoulda thought about that before you killed em all. I would like to go kill some of those things. Maybe we can transplant some

billy · 10-28-2007, 07:59 PM

the rancher would kill US!

SilentSoul · 10-28-2007, 08:06 PM

The rancher don't got's to know.

lefty o · 10-28-2007, 08:14 PM

milsurp ammo is not the best thing to use, as FMJ bullets do have a tendency to take off for parts unknown. the 223 does fairly well out to about 400yds, after that it leaves a little to be desired. although i have smoked a dog at almost 700yds with a .223.

SilentSoul · 10-28-2007, 08:48 PM

I was thinking like some cheap wolf JHPs didn't know if you needed to use a soft point round for something like a PDog.

billy · 10-28-2007, 09:11 PM

if i had permission to shoot at longer ranges i would try out my savage 10-fp .308

SilentSoul · 10-28-2007, 09:20 PM

I had no idea they had P dog in TN. I gotta find some of these things. My luck I'll end up with the plauge or one of them will bite me i'll end up being dragged under ground to their palace and made their king....

billy · 10-28-2007, 10:49 PM

king of the p-dogs!

SilentSoul · 10-29-2007, 04:00 PM

I'd wear the crown

lefty o · 10-29-2007, 09:37 PM

if your gun will shoot it, wolf jhp works okay.

frozentorso · 10-30-2007, 10:59 PM

I like the way p dogs somtimes shoot straight up in the air when you pop them.

billy · 10-30-2007, 11:04 PM

i like how they throw their lil hands up .
it looks like a badguy in an old cowboy movie meetin his maker!

How can you kill an innocent little critter like that when he is surendering? I can only do it if it's a headshot. sam.

lefty o · 10-31-2007, 10:55 AM

Pdogs never surrender, its a trick.
i like to see how far i can make 'em fly. my record is 15yds.

Palladin8 · 11-27-2007, 02:07 AM

In easter CO they were put on the endangered species list. Same goes for UT or they were as of 2003. My buddies and I would goto WY and hunt them and have a ball. The furthest shot I have made was 400yds with my 25-06 and a 75 gr blitz king. I don't know which is more fun, shooting them or looking through the spotting scope and watching them fly apart.
Good times!!

there were some at about 100 yds. that kept standing up in front of fenceposts.
i felt like a firing squad.

We have to learn to live with our depressions and reckognise the fact that we have to be a little sadistic and do things moma said not to in order to make it in the varmint hunting world. sam.

lefty o · 11-27-2007, 07:06 PM

momma always said it was okay, as long as she didnt have to see it!

Onesonek · 12-07-2007, 01:17 PM

my trail bench

some of my testing it

this one lasered at 320 and busted with the 243AI 55 gr Nosler BT
that barrel needs bigger glass for that range, as alot of misses beyond 275

hmmm, now I know sam says he doesn't eat certain things, but wondering what his favorate recipe is for P dogs? Ok, I have never eaten a groundhog either, but if I knew a good way of makeing it, I might.
Remember, the plague is passed on by the fleas, so, maybe you should buy a larger scope, and start just shooting the fleas off of the dogs?
