Pawnee Grasslands PDog Hunts
Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2015 12:18 pm
Been out to the Pawnee Natl Grasslands about a dozen times this summer starting on June 16th when "public land" is open for shooting PDogs.
It was a very wet spring and made for some nice green countryside, with nice yellow wildflowers. My first hunt was on June 16th and I actually had to use 4wheel drive to get from a county road into a good hunting area (muddy). The hunting was excellent and the young pups (about 3/4 size) of an adult were very abundant. Although the adults were barking at danger the young pups would run for the mounds and then look around to see what all the warnings were all about, making it easy pickings. I went out on the 16th of June and then again on the 19th, shot a total of 450 rounds in those 2 days, never have I shot that many rounds at anytime, that shows you how many "targets" there really were. I wore woodland camo until the end of July, last year I switched to desert camo right after the Fourth of July.
Hopefully the pictures turn out OK, as you can see from the one photo how nice and green it really was this spring and in the same photo some of the PDog mounds. The photo of the 2 PDogs one with torso shot and one with head shot was my First Double at 77 yards, I had one in the crosshairs and out pops another, perfectly lined up!
