Not sure where to post this....probably in hunting, but this touches several issues so thought I would share it. Perhaps we need a new category called "Believe It or Not". I just returned from shooting prairie dogs at my friends ranch and he told me the following story: Some guys approached him about shooting prairie dogs, having been referred by the friend of a friend of another friend. Being the nice guy that he is he escorted them to the field where they were to hunt, pointing out the cattle that also occupied the pasture. They assured him that they often hunted around cattle and would be extra careful. There were 4 of these "hunters". As they prepared to take to the field, each one of them had a rifle slung over each shoulder, plus ammo vests laden with ammo and two pistols strapped on for good measure. Yep, that's right, each shooter carried 4 guns and presumably ammo for each. Thus armed they fanned out and commenced walking abreast across the pasture. The cattle scattered and the prairie dogs disappeared. They looked like they were headed for a battle field. My friend later went to check on things. The gunslingers were gone and the cattle were nervous, but otherwise OK. My friend doubted that they killed any prairie dogs, but gave him a good story to tell. My friend is soft-spoken and kind and said "I sure hope they don't come back."........believe it or not. By the way, I killed 87 dogs over a day and a half of shooting.
