looks like a nice portable set up. those drink holder in that chair would make a good place to hold ammo.

Nice simple setup.You arent nearly as ugly as I had emagined you from your avatar.In fact it doesnt bother me much to look at your picture especially the rifle and equip.The avatar still does bother me.LeftyO is just plain efficient,ammo in a drink holder!I bet he carrys a canteen. sam.

lefty o · 09-20-2007, 12:15 PM

not really overly efficent, just hate bending over to constantly get ammo. when we head out to kill dogs, we go heavily loaded. 2 or 3 rifles each, 750-1000rnds a day, coolers for pop and water and food. range box with cleaning kit and tools. if you hit a big dog town that hasnt been shot in a while, you can burn a lot of ammo in an 8 hour day. every year we have 10-12 guys, and we spread out in groups of 2-3 over a couple miles of prairie. i get to carry extra gear, because ive become the field gunsmith. we have at least 2 range finders in our group to verify long distance kills- we do a pot on who gets the farthest kill.
if you enjoy shooting, P dog shooting is one of the most fun things you can do.

I wish I lived in PD or 'Yote country. I can't think of anything close that we can readily and legaly shoot.

Nice one Billy

billy · 10-26-2007, 07:11 AM

p. dogs are the only animals i kill.
that is because of the bubonic plague they carry! (you know? the black death? yeah it's still around!)

SilentSoul · 10-26-2007, 09:18 AM

I either need to start importing p dogs into my state or move somewhere they have them so i can join in this craze! How big are these things?

billy · 10-27-2007, 05:55 AM

billy · 10-27-2007, 07:28 AM

ive been using my mod. 70 300winmag with the 454casull as a backup gun.
just in case i only wound one.

SilentSoul · 10-27-2007, 08:57 AM

Are they a very hard animal to kill, they seem like an overgrown squirrel.

billy · 10-27-2007, 09:06 AM

i am just teasing you. they are about as big as a fat squirrel

Sparkytfl · 10-27-2007, 09:30 AM

They're like groundchucks right? Groundhogs/woodchucks. We have those but no humongous fields to sit down in and shoot a hundred in an afternoon.

I know you are serious and Billy and I were joking.A prarie dog is about the size of a fox squirrel,grey squirrel, or black squirrel.Only about 1/10th as large as a woodchuck-groundhog.In the west in the grazeland where there is no cultivation they have collinies that cover hundreds of acres.Thousands may be in one colony.They are considered a pest or varmint. Put "prarie dog" on your search bar and read about them. sam.

billy · 10-27-2007, 03:26 PM

they look as big as a truck through a 24x scope .maybe thats what made me think they were huge.

lefty o · 10-27-2007, 07:04 PM

P Dogs are about the size of a 1 liter pop bottle, well the big ones are. pups are about the size of a chipmunk. they're normally not very hard to kill.

stikbutter · 10-27-2007, 07:45 PM

Where is weadikville hootnholler county tn. I googled it like a jackass and there you where, I'm in middle tn. asking cause of the prariedog shooting your talking about I asked the guys at work but no one is into that. Stricktly deer and turkey I'm new to tn. thats why I ask there is no prarie dogs in miami florida if there was I may not have hung up my guns way back when. Sounds like a ball.

SilentSoul · 10-28-2007, 07:30 PM
