The distances at which we made some of the kills really gave me a new-found appreciation of the accuracy of the AR platform and the .223 Rem cartridge.

The kills generally occurred between 100 and 250 yards. We had some really lucky hits beyond 250 yards, but that was when the wind wasn't blowing and throwing our aim off!

but seriously, are they good to eat?
-
cook in curry, anything tastes good in curry!

hmm.. depends actually.. if the critters are gamey as heck, gotta spice them and marinade them a little bit longer...
and more spices into the mixture too.. ahahaha
-
Um, guys, you generally don't want to handle dead prairie dogs, much less eat them, as they are known disease carriers. A patrolling BLM officer whom we met while hunting, specifically told us not to touch the carcasses.

ahh.. no eating then...
just a public service of vermin eradication..
sort of like spotlighting for rabbits in Australia

ha ha even if you can eat the meat...i don't think their meat will be soft given that they are fast moving active creature. So i figure u need to sort of boil it for a period of time....U certainly need spices to mask the game meat.So here is what I proposed to cook the game. Claypot....for 4 hours slow cook.
Herbs
1) Clove, Orange Peel, 5 spice. garlic.
2) Winter Melon
3) Chinese cooking rice wine.
4) 1 lbs of roast Pork
5) osyter sauce. or XO Sauce.
6) Chinese mushroom
7) deep fry tofu.
Sautee the spices and Rice wine than add sauce together with the mushroom and the Game. Meat turn brown Add water. bring it to boil... than transferred to the claypot add everything else and slow cook for 4 hours.
PS: And if you are still alive let me know how it taste.... : )

target must look like the size of a quarter...do you wait for critters to pause and look up? I assume they stand on their hindleg.

Yeah, they do look small at the more extreme ranges, even when viewed through the 20X power scopes mounted on our rifles.The p-dogs do present a slightly larger target when they're standing up on their hind legs, but as we found out, the wind tends to rock the gun from side to side, making it difficult to draw a bead on a vertically-oriented target. In those situations, we found it easier to take aim when they were on all fours, presenting a wider, more horizontal target.

You were considering a career as a poacher?
I don't recall your mentioning the gopher hole incident, but it does illustrate the dangers posed by burrowing rodents to farm livestock. Now you know the reason farmers are anxious to get rid of these critters.

oh.. wild rabbits are vermin in australia...
and worse, the gabrament there tried to eradicate them with myxomitosis.. which basically f**ks up the rabbits.. so they're not edible either...
but the farmers are happy if you go shoot them on their property, just tell them first..
oh.. they're also happy if you can shoot a fox or three coz they're also introduced pests..
