First Prairie Dog of spring

[ironheadmike81]

The first dawg of spring in NE WY. He was a large bruin, very dangerous.http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z421/ironheadmike/3-17-11003.jpg

OK, that's not fair,

What are the details, gun, caliber, load, and distance?

They don't open AZ up again until June.

And let that not be the last one.

".....They don't open AZ up again until June."

They got a season on gophers?

Ok...No season needed here as the fanged devil dogs are running amok and wildly overpopulated.
Love this state as all you need is a smile and a weapon and ammo..this is BLM ground.
The stick is a Model 12 .243 with a Burris 8x32 Signature Select, running 58 grn V-Max's at 4045fps
using 45.5 grns of Varget with Fed Gm210M primers, and seated .004 off the lands and Nosler Brass.
Best shot of the day was a toss up between a 419 yd head shot and an acrobatic double back flip
with a half twist from 220. Love the V-Max! Always a good decision.

Hello MIke, looks like your getting a head start on the rest of us!

Now where did you ever get that name "Ironhead"??? I am really curious my good man. ;D

[ironheadmike81]

I am an Ironworker..just kinda stuck to me

Yup, been out 2x so far in the last 2 weeks and they are moving like wheat around here.
1st morning out I popped off 97 of them before 11 am.
Its going to be another good year and I am a month ahead of last years time.

Nice shootin'. Sounds like that first rogue bull must have charged ya, gotta defend yourself. Good Job !!

That is why you need a 300wm on standby Dave! Maybe I can get a pic of the first 300wm struck pdog of the season this weekend. lol

[ironheadmike81]

That sounds like the right medicine for these rabid prairie poodles..having just landed

an Ackleyized .243 McGowan barrel, I look forward to bringing the pain at an even

faster FPS! One of our brothers taking up the fight this weekend is tossing .257 Weatherby Mag

at the burrowing beasts..should be epic acrobatics. Better than a great day at work ;D
