Ol' Timer, I respectfully disagree with you with regard to pdogs being hunted. We drive into the prairie where there are known pdog towns (many burrows close together) it is not difficult to find these pdog towns; all you need is eyesight. They are oblivious to us as we set up shooting tables and start with the closest (75 yards) and work our way back (usually 500 yards, sometimes 700 yards). We start with 17hmr, move to 223s as we get past 150 yards, and transition to 243 for 400yards and beyond. I reload my own 243 stuff (it is expensive to buy retail), the 17 and 223 is purchased.
Hunting in my opinion is more like stalking elusive animals, sitting still and quiet in a tree stand, no guarantee that you will even get a shot off. Hunting is not as easy as shooting.
As for your paper target stuff, I enjoy the range up in Ocalla National Forest often as I can. I do find it odd that you enjoy shooting at something that shoots back, have you tried steel lined walls yet?
I do end my posts with STOCK UP ON AMMO! for 2 reasons: one; I can easily identify where I left off in the discussion (as screen names are all "guests" in this forum) and two; I believe in being prepared if the need arises.
I am not the person that complained about food prep, nor believe all politicians are against me...when I entered this forum there were 41 people viewing, maybe the person you are thinking of is one of the other 39 people on here???
You don't eat pdogs, they are known to have the plague...if you want to eat what you killed here in FL, try hog hunting, taste great even BBQ'd.
STOCK UP ON AMMO!

Never cared much for 223's and haven't tried the 17. I am more of the 308/7.62 type. Old fashioned, I guess. Better range for sure. The original AR-15's/M16's that came out that had the Mattel logo on the handgrips were pretty cr@ppy and malfunctioned until they put the forward assist on them. After one jammed on me in combat, I threw it away and started carrying a shotgun and a 45ca. 1911a1. I know that today's are better. My son-in-law has one.
Didn't know about those ground rodents being sickly. Figured they wouldn't be much different than a squirrel. I consider squirrels, just a tree rat with a furry tail. But, edible.
