15 minute prairie dog hunting video I made!

It was a lot of work both filming and editing, but I think I ended up with a video better than any I've seen regarding prairie dogs.

This year I spent time messing with various techniques for the prairie dog footage, next video is going to be even better now that I feel I have the "downrange" filming figured out, more and better carnage shots, along with more "behind the scenes" stuff, rifle and optics info, accessories, etc.

Great shooting, nice video

Very good shooting especially with that wind. Thanks for the video.

 

[<*(((><]

I only hope I can get that good with my rifles! You guys are great shooters with all that wind and at that distance!

more and better carnage shots

I have no problem with people shooting prairie dogs, but the slow motion body parts flying around was disgusting. It's one thing to film shooting prairie dogs and another thing to revel in the gore.

The antis love to paint us as bloodthirsty, and things like this just play into their hands.

Great examples of fine guns and gear, as well as great shots.

The slo-mo isn't really a good thing, IMO. More gore for the sake of gore, looks like.

Outside of that, good flick. You could add some text pointing out the bald patches of the dens, and what those mean in losses to alfalfa farmers and to ranchers' grazing. The ad valorem tax man doesn't care if farmers and ranchers turn a profit or not; he wants the money, regardless.

Sweet. I like the slow motion, makes me chuckle. P-dogs are fun to shoot, it's even better when they pop.

Great video. Enjoyed watching it. Did my first Pdog hunt this year in Wyoming. Won't be my last.

(BTW, I'm available for 2016 )
