Not for the faint of heart. Sorry girls.

What cannon were they using for that

[Liberator TJ1984]

Most likely a 22-250 , 25-06 or 223 with about a 55gr.hp bullet :D
Maybe even the new Ruger .204 ??

[superdave013]

my 22-250 didn't do that to 'em

[nodigg]

When i saw this thread, I was sure you were gonna make some Chevy Chase movie wise crack! :)

[PHX ATC]

Uh, geez.............. :sqeyes:

Drivin' through the panhandle of Oklahoma last November, we saw acres and acres of colonies of the little bas turds. I remember thinking, "Boy, I'm glad that's not my property! " They had taken over. The only way to get rid of them would have been to bomb them, fill the crater and start over.

[Slick]

I think those were with a .223 There was a clip on the website with a 22-250 and it kinda just flopped 'em over.

[Moe_Havi]

From the movie "Rat Race"
"C'mon dad, please pull over at the next bathroom. I'm prarie dogging it."

[repo man]

.223,.22-250,.220swift the actual bullet makes all the difference. a good ballis
tic tip will do that out of all these cartridges. ;)

Yep, one of the reasons I bought my AR-15 HBAR.
Back in Colorado we would go all the time, but plague has really cut the numbers of prarie dogs in recent years. Not to worry though, their numbers will return strong as ever... more target practice.

470 Winchester

Geee wilber, Ive never gone Prarie Doggin....But I have gone Doggystylin on my girl... :jawdrop:

[djunkie]

I have. Lots of fun. Those guys are using .223's. I ususally use my .17 HMR. Does the same thing to them within 100 yds. Anything over 100 yds.doesn't produce that much damage. But with the .223 it will destroy them even out to 300+ yds. :D

[99 232 baja]

That sure is digusting...but very entertaining at the same time.

[repo man]

i shoot rabbits on my property with a .17hmr and it just goes right through them. the same on ground squirlels.

[UnionJack]

Wow.... I don't know what to say

[Phat Matt]

Q: What kind of firearms were used?
A: Three rifles were used.
1) Savage Model 110 FP in .223
2) Savage Model 12 FV in .22 - 250
3) New England Firearms Sportster in .17 HMR
These rifles along with the optics and load combinations are highlighted in the video.

[Chase]

The real redneck part of that is they sell DVD's on that site full of those clips....SWEET!!!!

[Chase]

I will add that...talking from experience...a .22 Mag does the same up to about 100 yds..I do this for hours and hours in the spring...
I just bought a new Ruger 77/17 for this type of activity.. :crossx: :crossx:

[Liberator TJ1984]

.223 hollow point drilled out and filled with a drop of Mercury , & sealed with wax will almost vaporize a Jackrabbit :skull:
But I've Never Tried It :rolleyes:

[RiverDave]

Do you think one of those things would make a good pet?
RD

[Tom Brown]

Get a komodo dragon instead, Dave.
Seriously Dave... they're vermin. I know everything has it's place in the circle of life but I can't imagine someone wanting one as a pet. Of course, I can't imagine someone wanting an alligator as a pet, either.

[BarryMac]

I don't know anything about guns but that seems to be a little over the top...

I'm sure Neva would love one to play with. I think she could use a little friend.
I don't hunt anymore, lost the taste for it, but it's definitely not hurting the population at all.
I've got a funny story about someone that moved to Wisconsin and couldn't understand how the hunters could kill deer. They're such beautiful animals. I'll try to find it.
