    Road trip from hell

    Hello all, I'm back online after a week road trip to Kansas to shoot prairie dogs. I recently bought a toy hauler for my ATV and decided to take a vacation. I found the prairie dog hunt online, and they allow one to roam a ranch and blast away for 100/day. Off I went!

    I traveled I40 thru AZ, NM, then thru SE Colorado to Syracuse KS. I had a great shoot, lost count of the kills. I can't post images right now, limited computer capacity. The weather was bad, it snowed and the wind was gusting to 60 knots.

    I'm currently chilling in Laughlin, chasing 17 black. (those who know me know what I'm talking about)

      When I was single I preferred 19 asian over 17 black!

      If you haven't seen it with your own eyes,
      or heard it with your own ears,
      don't make it up with your small mind,
      or spread it with your big mouth.

          Not to mention 17 will be illegal in most states...

                  That's a long way to drive. I'm up in Minnesota right now and will be heading back to CA in the morning. I expect it to take me 3 days. Long time to drive by myself.

My buddy and I recently went shooting and he shot corrosive yugo ammo through his Mosin and figured he could just piss in the barrel and call it a day. Several days later the bolt was rusted shut but I guess the fouling wasnt TOO bad.

                              Buzzards seem to think their little sun-dried splattered remains are muy delicioso.




                              Personally, I'd have to be in a Mad Max scenario before I'd fry up one of the little buggers.

                                  Gets me excited thinking about my first prairie dog hunt next month. My drive won't be quite as long. Going to carpool with a buddy of mine and drive from KY to SD. Flying over there and will probably fly back from IA.
