This guy always costs me about $5,000 for toys every time he posts :grumpy:

I have been in South Dakota since Sunday, and have gone out twice for hunting prairie dogs. These are not marathon sessions, because I am here to visit my parents, and have my ten-year-old daughter with me.
Anyway, my first Prairie Dog Safari session was on Monday, and it was more of a warm-up session than anything else, to become re-acquainted with my rifle (a Cooper Arms M21 Phoenix chambered in .204 Ruger). Of the 34 rounds I fired, I had 17 hits. That's a 50% hit ratio. Today's session was 25 rounds, and I had 20 hits. That's a better 80% hit ratio. Here is today's tally counter:
Monday's tally counter photo was for CRK fans, given that the featured knife is an Umfaan:
That .204 Ruger is a blazing cartridge. Great on varmints. Where I come from, the orchardists battle with "Grey Diggers". a I had a CZ chambered in .204 that could make those guys vaporized out to 250 Yards with almost boring regularity.
Now, I use a R-25 (it's a DPMS AR) chambered in .243 Win. It sends 58gr V-Max screamin downrange. It makes the Grey Diggers do counter clockwise backflips while launching them to the right everytime.
For closer shots (0-150 yds) I like to use my open site CZ chambered in .17 HMR.
Here's a shot of the business end of my coyote thump'n, grey digger flippin'
rifle
Hope that doesn't make me more inclined to become on of these
just joking.

Good to see you're doing your part in varmit control. Thanks for taking the time to take the pictures and post em. I really need to get out and burn some powder myself.
