Well I am back from the Wyoming PD trip. Here are the high points/things I learned.
1. Cabelas is charging $25.99 for powders at both their Omaha and Sidney stores.
2. 18 hours one way is a long drive. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
3. Look out for semi truck tools and wheel weights on the road at nite. They will give you a flat tire :evil: :x But there is a motel of sorts in Dickyville Wisconsin.
4. Praire Dog distance judging can be difficult for a Yooper who never sees past 100 yds when hunting at home.
5. Praire Dogs don't mind dirt showers when you are constantly shooting right in front of them. In fact I think they enjoy it. :?
6. Shooting at 350 yds is much more fun than shooting at 100 yds.
7. 55 gn Ballistic Tips blow right thru Praire Dogs . . . no red mist
8. High blood pressure meds and heat exhaustion do not mix well. . . unless you like the feeling of passing out on a barbed wire fence. :roll: (ie. if you are going to be dumb you have to be tough). And yes, a tetnus shot will make your arm sore for a few days.
These are the things I experienced on the big trip. Some I would gladly experience again. . . but some I would rather not :lol:
