The 18 grain JSB's really anchor them in place. The days winner of the "Dirt Nap Contest" goes to a youngster that caught a pellet at 101 lasered yards. That's the second longest kill with the Monsoon. The longest goes to a California Ground Squirrel that won the original "Dirt Nap Contest" by catching a 16 grain JSB at 107 lasered yards.
It was a fun half day hunt. It was very humid and 90 degrees by 11:00 AM, so I pulled the plug and just drove around doing a bit of exploring. Found a couple of other good spots that have prairie dogs, but it was getting too hot and humid to hunt. Next week, to beat the the heat and humidity, I plan on being there just after sunrise. The good news is, prairie dogs are early risers and so am I.
The only shade is what you bring with you. The hatch on my 4Runner, gives me a few square feet of it to use while refilling my mags.
This isn't anything like the incredible prairie dog hunting in eastern Wyoming, but this is very challenging, and still a lot of fun. I lost count, but would guess I got a couple dozen before pulling the plug.
