|
Made a short trip out this morning to one of the closer prairie dog towns.
Was supposed to be a relatively nice morning. When I got set up, winds were already 25-30 MPH. Dogs weren't having much to do with the cool winds this morning. Got a few shots at 300-400 yards. Only connected on one. Had alot of sandhill cranes passing overhead. When I finally gave it up, winds were gusting to 40 MPH. Another beautiful spring day on the northern prairies.--tr

Tus - I figured you would show up somewhere on the net. Last two weekends I did get a chance to go out and shoot a few.......I just had to favor the wind by 8-10 inches. I am thinking its about time to make a trip to NM maybe next month.
Oh...I took the test.........I'm usual as opposed to be unusual....lol

You gents are not doing much for my confidence. I am off to Montana on Tuesday to visit with my pal for a month, and prairie dogs are supposed to feature heavily.
I do hope the wind does not drive us into too many cork pulling hideout's to take refuge!

JayB, have fun in Montana. Don't let a little wind bother you when it comes to shooting PD's. No matter what the weather you will have a great time. More wind just means more shooting and thats what its all about.
Enjoy your stay in Montana.--tr

Thanks for that gent's. I live in the Highlands of Scotland so I am no stranger to wind, or rain, or snow just prairie dogs

Been getting out once or twice a week. The old Savage .223 is still shooting very straight. With the pups starting to come out one can get some under 300 yard shots, if you don't mind shooting pups. I find it more fun though shooting 300 yards and out. Also starting to come out are the snakes. Haven't had any run ins yet this year with them.--tr
