Memorial weekend p-dogs/coyotes

Well after already dumping close to 2300 rounds into p-dogs in the last 2 months I figured time to post up.
Memorial weekend was not the best as it pretty much rained every day & early evenings about 3-4pm on.
My pal & I took 3 coyote off 1 ranch spot early from 5am to 11am.
I have 11 coyote shot in the last 2 months from the one spot on the cattle ranch.
We saw 5 total calling them.
We laid another 240 or so rounds into p-dogs from 12-3pm.
This spot has not been shot in for 8+ years. They are spread 4 miles long and maybe 3/4+ mile wide filling many valleys and hill sides with very, very dumb p-dogs (for now). Many triples, a few quads, to many doubles to count.
Shooting a Savage .223 build w/a midway ER Shaw 1/14" tw 24" bbl, suppressed on top of that.
I told him not to shoot w/his 243AI due to the ear blasting noise (not threaded for his suppressor) and to use my Savage build. He left his suppressed rigs at home this time out.
I let him start off on the p-dogs and spotted for him. He just could not miss with my rig & said he wanted to have me build him a savage p-dog rig. Ive been telling him for eons a 243 for p-dogs is a waste of powder, but he does shoot 600-1100 yards with it. I wont shoot within 100 yards of him though just due to the muzzle blast. He went 53 rounds from 89 yards to 344 yards before he finally missed one w/my .223.
Sunday we had a rain storm move in & I was still shooting them until the rain started to blast into my face & I kept shooting then had to give it up when then lighting started striking pretty bad and that did it, we jumped in the ranger & packed out.
It was funny, raining hard and those p-dogs stayed out like it was nothing.
I dont take p-dog pics any longer as they all look the same, red splat and parts.
1 of the coyotes I called in for my pal
It nice to have another pal who leaves his Polaris ranger 900 with me so I can run it all over ranches when he cant make it.
The rolling hills across the bottom pastures a mile a behind my friends noggin are where the p-dogs start.
 
Nice, I've been chasing the prarie dogs lately also. Took one of those pictures you talked about then quit counting.

I'm running out of the dumb ones now and the shootings slowed down. When on a fresh town I spend as much time laughing as shooting.
