Prairie Dog with a .22?

[quivvy]

Realistic to get those buggers with a .22LR or would I be better off with a .223?

Uhh yeah a .22lr will kill them just fine with one shot.

I have got them both out of a 16" barreled AR 22lr Upper and a 4" 22lr. Pistol.

My son hunts with his TEC-22T and silencer (he thinks it's his :roll: ) and his Remington 22 rifle (that is his). He shoots out to 100yds. with the pistol, but mostly out to about 50yds. He hunts out to 200yds. with the rifle (on a good day :mrgreen: ). Karl.

Don't try to convince my first 10/22 that it won't kill a prairie dog. It's slay literally thousands of them since I brought it home in the spring of '78. :twisted:

Here is proof of a 22lr killing a dog. This one was out of my 4" pistol.

WAHT? You mean 22s not the only bullit for prairie dogs.
Boy you just had to ruin my day,didn"t you. [roll]

I have some nice pictures of PDs hit witha 223. They don't even look similar....

I could post them, but they are graphic and give the antis visual proof of how "cruel" hunters are if they ever found them.

Has anyone tried a 17M2 on PDs? Problem with 22LR is that it has a trajectory like the McDonalds arches. Good thing about 22LR is noise is kept down. Where I shoot them, noise with the 223 is a problem. I am thuinking of buying a 17M2 so as to have a flatter tajectory and quieter.
