2nd annual BBPDS

[dk17hmr]

We are in the planning phase for the 2nd annual Big Bore P-Dog Shoot, BBPDS. Last year a couple of the Utah members came up for a weekend in August, we shot some targets, p-dogs, and gophers. We are planning on doing it again this year.

The shoot is going to take place here in South West Wyoming, just out side of Rock Springs. The p-dogs population isnt bad, alot of the varmint shooting we do is mainly within 200 yards with handguns and iron sighted rifles, ussally shoot a couple rounds than drive down a little further shoot a couple rounds....its not setting up a bench and shooting a bunch of rounds but it is alot of fun the way we do it.

I am thinkin this year we will have a camp out on my "Private" range on BLM land, the range is marked out right now to 900 yards, this springs I am going to extend it out to about 2000 yards.

Right now I am thinking the first weekend of August.

Anyone interested is welcome to come out.

That sounds like it might be fun. Have to see what comes up before then and if I stay healthy enough.

Wish I could go, would a 72 muzzleloader qulify or would I have to use one of my .451s?

A long time ago I was working in Western Kansas and got to do some PD shooting using a 22.250 then got the brite idea maybe powdered by Budweiser or something? To try my .45 flinter, it was getting a little boring killing everything in site, needless to say that was a experience. After a little bit of shooting I would try to line up several "dogs" in a row just in case I missed the first one which I usually did and try to get one of the others down range on the skip which never happened was fun though. I did manage to kill a few with the round ball in a 35mph wind helps to shoot at a mound with two or three dogs sitting on it though.

if that matches whatever week off schedule i have by then.
i'll be there.
i'll bring out the 44 lever [the one with the red bull can shims],or maybe the 375 , or cheat and go small with the 358 win for the long shots.
i should be able to scare them back into their holes with one of them.

Well, it's been awhile since I whacked a PD with Big Smile. I suppose it'll do.





Hmmmm, maybe a 12ga with some cast roundballs will fit the bill. It sure would be well suited for drive by prairie doggin'.

Hopefully my 45-70 and I will be there.

[JTknives]

So hows the p-dog population looking down there now?
Is the hunt still on?

[dk17hmr]

I was out today looking around and working on the range road....I am seeing lots of gophers and p-dogs....not huge numbers but enough to be entertained.

The "hunt" is still on.

What is the legal requirement for an out of state person to blast PD's?

Bringing your own ammo.
