Returned from prairie Hunt

First off I'd like to thank Bill Perkins and Ken of Perkins Outfitters who guided us. It was a pleasure to meet Dave, Dan, John, Fred, and Ed, all who had many stories to tell. Wish I had a recorder to replay. I did not take any pictures of the dead just of the landscape and people.
I'd like to say that I was very supprised at the performance of my 204 with the wind. My longest ranged shot was 409 yds but I will not tell you how many times I had to shot to hit the little fellow. I learn a lot shooting in the high wind, we had gust up to 30 or so mph. My shots were constant 250 yds and less. I shot mostly from sticks, while I sat on the ground using my Encore rifle.
Man, I'd love to live there.
With that said, I drove on and had enough of dirt roads(about 300 miles), I do not want to see another dirt road for a while. I ate a lot of dirt, lol.
Ron, Dan, Pete, Dave, John (back turned) and Bill, Fred ED and Ken not in picture
