Montana prairie dog action....

[saylean]

Went to Montana for about a week.

Personally shot over 600 rounds ....family easily shot 3,000 rounds. The coyotes/foxes ate well I am sure...but the prairie dogs didnt do so well. It was great. We have family over there, miles of private land to ourselves. I missed a few yotes (dont ask ) and saw some protected kit foxes, monster bucks (a 5x5 with matching drop tines, in center of pic..sorry he didnt turn for me, several 4 pointers, etc) and really nice antelope. We pretty much shot flicker tails from dawn till dusk with our .17 HMR's.

When can I go back?! Enjoy the pics...the pic with me is of my first kill. The bloody smiley face on the rock which occured after one of my shots...pretty much sums it up.

those kit foxes are so cool i don't think they do anything but good i don't think they eat fawns but i am not sure. i would think they just eat rodents and such. cool pics sounds like a blast ammo bills run high on trips like that

Ya you could just about walk up on momma and babies...we found two dens of them. They are really pretty animals. It was very cool to see. A first for me.

yeah i have only seen a few pics of them cool to see them one of my aunts ex husbands had big cats and he had a pair of kit foxes they were realy cool and tame like pets they were very friendly and bring back cool memories seeing them. i wonder if there is very many of them in that counrty they are sure cool to see thanks for the pics

I just got back from a week in Montana! and I cant wait to get back!!! uhg! makes my skin crawl how awesome that state is. spent most of the time floating the rivers and caught 100+ trout and 1 whitefish. I did get to vaporize a prairie dog with my glock- my buddy said they were not as common SE as far east. hopefully next time we'll be able to get some quality grassy knollin' in the schedule.

Awesome pics and looks like a great time.  Makes me want to head over to my familys place in Central Montana.  That first picture looks more like a gopher than a prairie dog to me?? Unless it's a small young one maybe.. The Prairie Dogs we generally shoot over there are about 12" tall and the gophers roughly 6".

That sounds like a great time. Very nice pics too, beautiful country. Only been thru MT on a trip to SD as a kid about 25yrs ago. We only made 2 stops in Butte & Missoula I think?? Anyway, would love to go back sometime again soon. Next time you head out there let me know a day in advance so I have time to pack my stuff!   Thats a nice looking rifle you have there too. Thanks for sharing!
