i went with a couple of friends to Wyoming one summer to shoot prarie dogs. i guess, a real pain for the ranchers, who let us shoot as many as we want. personally, i couldn't get it. maybe it was the 500 yard+ shots they were doing! very impressive,,,, considering all you could see was a flash of gold on the horizon (that's the dog!!).
what was even more impressive was watching a couple of juvenile golden eagles that were perched 100 yards to either side of a prarie dog city, swoop down and grab the splattered dog, returning to their perch.
