Ive only been on a couple prairie dog hunts, THE last one was a good deal of fun, I used a 58 cal muzzle loader and ranges were in the 300-400-even occasional 500 yard shots, yard ranges, so although we seldom scored hits it was a good deal of fun because of the time delay and having to judge wind, and hold over, we laughed a great deal at the absurd conditions but we had fun, the guys with me swore you could go open and half drink a beer between firing and watching the mini balls impact
