Last weekend, three buddies and I drove out to p-dog town in western Kansas. It is the usual spot we've shot for the last 6 years. Numbers were good and the dogs were not spooky until the last morning, haha. Most of our shots were 150yds - 400yds. There were a handful of bonus dogs under a 100yds, but not to many. Quite a few large dogs with a lot of pups mixed in. The ample rainfall over the last couple years has really helped the grass in that area, so the dogs have really grown in size. I ran my usual 22-250, 223 and 243. My longest shot was a first round hit at 537yds with a 87grn v-max out of my 243. I have always ran 55 v-maxs out of my 22-250, this year i tried a few 50s and 40s. I felt like either one was a big improvement over the old 55s, much more pop on impact! My closest shot was 90yds with a 40grn v-max out of the 22-250. Wow that made a mess! The wind wasn't terrible either, for most of the trip. I had 100 confirmed dead dogs. As a group we had 391. Good weather, good shooting, good friends. I'll get a couple pictures up later this evening.
