We'll leave on the 26th. Can't hardly wait! Ammo has been loaded and everything is ready. I think! We drive a little over 700 miles and plan to shoot for 3 days.

Good Luck to all of Y'all!

I shot about 135-150 today. The town had a ton of pups and has seen very little shooting. Plus my guns were very quite for some reason.. lol.. Oh I had a few kills at over 200 with 234 being the furthest with a 17 HMR RimX action rifle with a Lothar Walther barrel. I had three doubles.

I like your pace. We are taking a side by side this year on a utility trailer. Will have to run slower than normal, hope it's worth it. Walked in with tripods last year the first 3 days because T-storms kept rolling through.

I'm dragging out 2,300 rounds of .223/53gr V-Max and an additional 950 rounds of Hornady 40gr v-Max for my .204 Ruger. I will spread this out between 3 - AR's (.223) I built and 1 - .204 Ruger all with 26" B. Barrels.

And they give me hell about bringing 5-7 rifles, lol, I like your style;-).
Set up about like mine, out of sight is good.
FYI I have an old chicken hook to drag stuff to the back if I can’t reach it.

I take 2 primaries and one back up. I don't shoot like a house on fire.

A friend of mine used to PD before his passing. The loading became such an undertaking he settled on 22-250, 55gr Sierra BK, Varget, win. Brass and FedGM primers. All loaded for 4 identical Rem 700 Varmint rigs topped with 4 identical Burris Black diamond scopes.

Over the years he used to take a huge selection of calibers and firearms but learned he had just as much fun if not more sticking with one load and 4 rifles set up identical to each other.

My pard has a heavy foot no doubt. Great driver but there is no sleeping at that velocity for passenger (me). He drove the entire trip. 25 hours overnight stay about 1/2 way. First ranch we checked out today has plague. This place was sooo good last year. Plague has been in the area so might be a short trip this year.

 

[Alguapo]

We got plagued out. All 5 ranches. First time in 43 years. Called the ranchers and they said nothing in sight. Good luck to you all.

Equipment failure. I’ve had these for many years and the push button for the laser range finder just deteriorated while I went to use them. Called Swarovski and they said it was not an item I could repair myself. So I’m out doggin with no range finder. I have to mail them back to RI and they will ship them back to Austria. 6-8 weeks. If you own these probably want to check them over B4 hunting.

I ordered a couple extra boxes of 22 wmr yesterday and will pick up a big sun hat today. I zeroed and chrony verified all my rifles last Saturday in what turned out to be a monsoon but managed to verify my chrony data and adjusted all my Strelock dope.
My buddy has all his stuff ready and bought a small grill so we can have snacks in the field. I also called the guide yesterday, he said they are shooting at a lot of dogs but that it’s really windy. Good luck to all. E

I have a Sig rangefinder that is display is disappearing. I can't even read the numbers on it. Time for a new one.

Just finished loading the last of my ammo for our upcoming P dog trip to S Dakota. This will be our first trip and we are very much looking forward to it. So far a total of 1350 centerfire rounds and a 100+/- 22wmr rounds.
I’ve never loaded this much ammo before and have learned a ton. It’s been quite the undertaking in the 3 months since booking the trip. The 52gn 223 and 100gn 260 loads were the only ones that were already developed, the rest were worked up during the weekends and a few sick days from work. The Grendel load could use some more tweaking but ran out of time, a little over MOA but will have to do.
My buddy was pretty much in the same boat but not as experienced at developing a load( not that I’m all that great at it) but still managed to put together a 22-250 ai and hash out a respectable load. Anyway that’s our story, what have y’all been working on for the dog towns?? E
