Here in SD the prairie dogs can get pretty big - they' ve been known to overthrow entire small towns - and - you know - they carry Monkey Pox so this year not only are we carrying side arms but we' re also carrying .223' s - so we can shoot them from afar w/o the risk of getting close to Monkey Pox.

BUT - I shoot a BOWTECH PATRIOT so I needn' t carry the .223 - I can hit a prairie dog in the 10 ring at 300 yards.
