A good pal & I just ran 357 rounds into the p-dogs again today.
Nothing fancy, but they were out in force in this spot that does not get shot in a lot since everyone is required to walk in at least 1 mile & its not for the faint hearted.
Many doubles & triples today & hundreds for tonight's coyotes or other predators.
The more we shot, the more that popped up, (realy dumb young ones) nothing was more than a 300 yard shot and we could see hundreds more past that waiting for some lead filler.
My .223 and my pals .220 swift were burning up in the 90* temps, lucky we had a flowing creek by us and I took a tee shirt sliced it and soaked it in the creek, then wraped it over our bbls. and a bottle of creek water to keep them wet.
I could of taken many pictures of split p-dogs, but they are all the same to me these days.
We took 4 bottles of water each to keep fresh & still ran out due to the heat & very warm light winds. We started to soak our shirts & hats in the creek to stay cool & somewhat hydrated in those 6 hours.
The picture is a new town that was not there 2 yrs ago and runs at least 3/4 mile up that gully to the right.
This is a spot I sent Bill off this site to this when he was out earlier this month in which he had fun shooting them out of.
I have run a tad under 4k rounds into them so far this year also.
My load is the 50g vmax in front of w748 at 3300 fps in the .223 Savage
My pals load is the 55g vmax in front of w760 at 3800 fps in his Ruger mkII varmint rig w/Benchmark bbl & nitrated.
