A pal and I hit a new ranch packed full of pdogs yesterday. Rancher was happy to say go any place on the property and shoot all you can *PS* Ill give you $100 for the last one shot*....hahaha funny guy I said, "you know that will never happen since you cant kill them all, just like shooting coyotes, more just move in". We can shoot everyday as far as he was concerned, very nice guy!
Of course on top of that we have anytime access for coyote as well as pdogs.
Started shooting at 730am to 610pm with them looking like we didn't touch them.
Seems 4pm was the witching hour also, they popped out late afternoon like whiskers on yer chin, not a shot made them run & duck. Odd thing was that from 7-3 or so they ran like crazy diving under, then late day you couldnt make them go under! We would shoot for 2hrs then move, 2sq miles of them and looking like wheat blowing in the wind when we came over a rise, just thousands of them. Lots of young ones they were not fresh pups, those will pop out in a few weeks and be even more. Adults are big and FAT, nice thunk when you hit them.
My Savage build, 24", 1/14" tw er shaw bbl, suppressed, 50g vmax w/748 ran 357 rounds my pal shot as many using 3 rigs, we spotted each other on & off all day.
After I got home at 8pm I let a rancher know Id be out on coyotes. Removed a big heavy mangey male at 95 yds, darn its partner made the escape.
Home about 1230pm and dead tired, BUT a great day!
100s of these laying in pieces.
