Here is some pictures from the trip I am on to shoot Prairie Dogs in Co. These are some I shot that I hope are tame enough for everybody. Steve I didn't show yours because yours were too gory.
The second picture is my first double on this trip.

Re: Co. PD Shoot Pictures
You should know that around here there is no such thing as "to gory". So, let's see em. Gary

joghotrod - this is what I posted on another site regarding our little adventure.
Trip was a good one. Shot alot of dogs, in fact jodhotrod is still there shooting today. I came back yesterday for work today. We did deal with some pretty strong winds at times and that made the hits more difficult. I managed to bust off 300-350 rds. in a day and a half. No clue how Jimmy did yet.
I'll get him to post a few pics or send them to me....once again I left here with my camera sitting on my desk and it was still sitting here when I got back. I don't recall the stated rules about carnage but I can assure you there are some "RUINT" prairie dogs out in eastern CO.
Wish I could have stayed another day but my presense here is required. Post some updates when you have time.

I have some very gory ones on my laptop and I will add a few plus some of the Rattler I shot while out taking pictures. I shot the rattler with my Texas Defender loaded with #6 bird shot.Captqc wrote:You should know that around here there is no such thing as "to gory". So, let's see em. Gary

I counted the empty brass and it looks like I shot about 436 rounds. The day after you left to go to work, the wind was so calm it made for a very productive day. My first 10 shots had 8 kills and one of those was a double. It was a fun day. I can't wait for next year. I would try again this year but 1100 miles one way would be expensive. Plus the wife wants to go visit kin folks up north. What a waste of expensive gas.
