Re: ND PD Hunt on 5-23-2019

Saw my pain doctor today and he determined that bottom of my battery pack was too close to the surface of my skin. I'm scheduled for corrective surgery on June 12. He will remove the battery pack and then use his fingers to deepen the pocket. He will repair the area where the battery pack had been,...

ND PD Hunt on 5-23-2019

The last prairie dog shoot I was out on was back on November 13, 2018 in this same PD town I was in today—that’s 6 months and 10 days without exterminating any prairie dogs—I was suffering withdrawal symptoms from not feeding my NEED to eradicate a few prairie dogs!!! I had been watching the weathe...

ND Albino Prairie Dog Mount

My taxidermist, Frenchy’s Taxidermy, from Minot, ND left a message for me on my phone on Tuesday, October 2 this week and told me the mount of my albino prairie dog was finished. I happened to be heading through Minot this past Thursday, October 4, 2018, and stopped at his shop to pick up the cute l...

Re: 204 will it lift a PD out of it hole like a 22-250?

My 204 Rugers using 40 gr. V-Max, 40 gr. Nosler BTs or 39 gr. Sierra BlitzKings will lift prairie dogs out of their holes. If they are outside their holes it will make them do acrobatics.

Re: Sierra 39 Blitz King

How many rounds have you shot through this barrel? Is it possible there are some rough spots in the throat that tear the bullet's jacket. Do any other bullets fail to make it to the target? Check your muzzle to see if you have a defect there.

ND PD Hunt 8-21-2018

The weather was supposed to be ideal for prairie dog shooting. The temperature was predicted to hit the low 80s and winds no more than 5 to 10 mph so I headed off for a prairie dog town I last visited on December 2, 2017. I arrived at my parking place on the west side of the prairie dog colonies (th...

Re: ND PD Hunt 7-20-2018

brooksb-- I hope you get to get into Montana for some PD shooting one of these years. Back in 2001 through 2006 I used to drive over into eastern Montana to shoot prairie dogs. That was about a 200 mile drive to the closest dog town.When the price of gasoline got way higher than I liked and motel p...

Rick--I'm glad you enjoyed the little narrative.

randyman--Thanks for the kind words about my story and photos. Minot is located almost 130 miles straight east of Williston on US Highway 2. Nice town. I graduated from Minot State University 52 years ago this past May.

Great looking rifle and you most certainly have found the perfect load for that beauty. A 500 yard shot is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing the story and the photos.

ND PD Hunt 7-20-2018

Last Friday I headed out for some leisure time in a couple prairie dog towns down in the National Grasslands in North Dakota. While my back, ribs and hips still give me considerable pain, I needed to get out the house and recreate!!! The weather forecast called for 80º with winds from 4 to 7 mph out...
