Picked up a car in the North part of the State. Utah. On the way home we stopped to give my boy a chance to shoot at a prairedog. Well he found out you can't just walk up 50 ft from them and shoot them. The closest shot was more like 50 yds. He missed every time. So did I for that matter with the .22. Got close enough to make them duck. So then it was time for a scope and heavy fire power. I found out my scope helped see the critters but after a shot or two my scope moved. But I was lucky enough to get one dog. (Should call them prarie rats and the tree huggers might not want to save the things so bad) It was a head shot at 100+ yds. It was a luck shot. Next time I'll have the scope loctited better. But a first kill none the less. Took the lower half of his head off. Anyone have a prariedog recipe?

I've got 3 souls on my NDM, and a picture of each. First blood was in 1999 taken at 250yds with 165gr Hornady "Custom"  Second was in 2000 on this Cougar at a range of about 30 yards (maybe) with Winchester 168gr Silvertips  The last time I went out was in 2003, and that year I took this Mule Deer at 167yds with Hornady 168gr AMAX. This was the first one that ever even took a step after the shot (he made it about 40 yards or so).  This year I'm going after white tail with my CA Tiger if I do any rifle hunting at all. If I'm successful, that will be this rifle's first blood.  Never hunt without a camera! Saleen |
