Cool video, thanks.  I've taken some in E. Oregon, but looks like I need a multi-state safari.

PETA would NOT approve, but I liked it... ;D

Wish we had prairie dogs here, but we just have sand fleas right now.

I've heard stories about Parris Island sand fleas, if you swat one you have to give it a funeral? Thats what my young marines drill instructor told us.

And you better check the sex of that little stinker to, There IS a quiz at the end. ;D
 It's funny now, but try standing perfectly still at attention while something 1/4 inch long takes a stroll around in your ear then comes down and sinks its 2 inch long teeth into you left nostril. Try that for say, 5 minutes , They do not supply a totally bug house smiley here or I would use it. Any one who can do that has SELF DISCIPLINE  !  Some times they will land on you nose and walk around like a dog looking for somewhere to crap, Then when they are positioned right exactly between your eyes, on the tip of your nose, They will look you right square in the eye, smile an evil little bug smile, and chomp. And the little SOB's will fly off just as you are dismissed from formation. I swear to God those little ba$*ards  recognize the commands better than some of the Recruits. God I HATE SAND FLEAS. ;D

I'm a life long hunter, I actually found the 1st video I saw to be disturbing.   That type of thing will be the down fall of legalized hunting.

TAB,

I tend to agree with you.  I am not against it but when you film it and others see it it will simply disgust them.

Last fall on the Outdoor Channel one of the bow hunting shows did a whole show on riding in the back of a boat and shooting at jumping carp with bow and arrow.  It was an exact caricature of what anti hunters think about us.  The only thing missing was a cooler full of beer.

I wrote to both the show and Outdoor channel my thoughts on this (actually I asked if they were TRYING to look like idiots!), never got an answer from either.

I've never seen anything like this before to be honest, and I've done my fair share of varmint erradication but this is the "Girls gone wild" version of a prairie dog hunt. The one that made me really uneasy though was when they were shooting the 50 BMG against the rocks, ricochet anyone? It does, however, make you stand in awe at the power of some of these weapons.

Anubis,

Here is a vid that will scare the heck out of you about the 50 BMG ricochet.

That vid is a proven 'fake'.  It is guys shooting 'rock hoppers' and is wasn't with a BMG.

Someone sent me that video a while back. I showed to a friend that is a retired sniper, was in Afghanistan. He said it it a 50 cal shooting mountain goats. My son that is in the army said they showed it to them in basic, to give a little demonstration of the power of a 50 cal.
