My favorite shot was the 95 yard head shot where he's looking right at me. I think it's around 3:50. That particular shot was a full 90 degree cross wind. So cool to take an educated guess on the hold off, squeeze that trigger and watch it go just how you wanted.

The farthest was 131 or so yards, and was a spine shot.

There were 33-34 clips that made the cut for public consumption, and some of those are iffy. 😬.
And another 15-20 that I decided didn't need to be shared. So I got closer to 50 pdogs in that little session. Hard to keep count when it's cock and shoot bout as fast as a guy can shoot.

That was less than two hours, and only about 60% of the shots are in the video. Poor landowner told me they're really cutting into his hay yields.

He set me up with a key to the property and was practically begging me to come shoot them more often. He was even offering to buy me ammo. They're a plague at this location.

I saw a badger at this location once, a summer or two ago. But haven't seen him since. They're supposed to be really good about reducing pdog #s, since that's their primary food.

At this point I've killed a couple thousand prairie dogs here, and a guy can't even tell. The irrigated fields, bordered by all the arid land where they can dig their holes, plus not much for natural predators, is the perfect recipe for well, an ecological disaster. Out in the expanses, away from irrigated fields, they don't ever get to this level of saturation. I'd estimate that there's 50+ prairie dogs for every 50 yard square of ground at this site.
