I spent 3 days around miles city helping the ranchers reduce their p dogs.

The first day sucked for us but the ranchers sure loved the rain. For the last 3 years every trip out west has brought rain. I told some of my rancher freinds that I was going to have to start charging for the rain. We had a good laugh.

The 2nd day was a good day We didn't fire a whole lot but had a enough to keep us busy. AThe 3rd day we were invitied to a ranch we hadn't shot before it was great. I ended up with 9 doubles and three triples. I didn't shoot a lot but waited for them to line up.

The rifles were savages, ruger and remingtons. Calibers were 223,22-250 and 243.

All in all were had a safe and productive p dog shoot.

P dog shooter: I am glad you finally got into some Prairie Dogs there on your third day!
I am impressed on your ability to wait for the PD's to line up! I am usually not so patient as you were. I also enjoy the multiple kills with one shot though when they occur!
Lots of weird weather this year in Montana and more to come I am sure.
It rained today here in SW Montana but is still supposed to get to 81 degrees.
When I commit to a Prairie Dog Safari I like to plan for 5 days minimum as a day of rain can cause gumbo and imposssible driving conditions for two days or more!
Did you see any Rattlesnakes, Coyotes or Badgers in your travels?
Hold into the wind
