p-dogs are great fun (and beneficial to your shooting).

In April-May when we first pull into a dog town, we start out with a 12 gaugeplus a scoped 22LR Autoin a "tag-team" sort of arrangement for close-in-multiple-close-targets-not-yet-educated situations and then as they wise up a little, one of us takes upa scoped AR-15.As they wise up even more, we pull ina scoped bolt .223and then as things really slow down (we've got them well educated)and the ranges increasewe switch overto a 6mm and/or a 270Win depending on wind speed and barreltemperatures.

This all provides some firearm/live targetentertainment for a few outings in the warm Spring months untilsufficient snow melts out of the Colorado mountains sometime in June and then my recreational focus shifts.

We can give a dog town a "PH.D in hunter safety" in about one day.
