Just Dogin It.

Well, June 6th and it was "D-day" for some p-dogs. Son and I decided it was time to take inventory of an area we shot over about 7 years ago. We took my Rigby breakopen in .22 Hornet and my Ruger No. 1B in 22-250, my son's .204 Ruger and .222 Remington. A few of the shots were close and the Hornet got some exercise but most of the others were about 300 yds. The .204 and 22-250 shoot side by side at that range with .32 gr. Sierras in the 204 and 52 gr. Sierras in the 22-250. We intentionally do an inventory as we drive into a shooting area and try to make sure we only shoot about half of what we see. We want to leave seed so we always have some to come back for. A year ago there apparently was some kind of a die-off and some of the landowners I talked to said the dogs just disappeared lasst year. We leave those areas alone so they can be repopulated from adjacent areas. More shooting later. Had a really good time with my son.
