Shot one at 500 yards the other day, with the 308w, with my SWAT buddy watching through the spotter. The dog didn't want to come too far out of his hole, so I shot. I saw the dog flopping around after the shot, but couldn't quite make it out through the NF. Buddy said, "you shot his damn head off". I said, I didn't know if I hit him, but I saw him flopping around.

Right now, with it snowing off and on, our opportunities are very few and far between. Good luck to the OP. Hopefully he finds a great place to shoot..

That is definitely a ground squirrel not a PD. The general area of PD habitat is west of the Mississippi, east of the Rocky mountains and south of Canada, although there are a few scattered colonies in extreme southern Canada.

Factoid - per the USFW there are 15 species of ground squirrels in the northwest (ID, OR, WA, MT, CA) and 4 species of marmmot and rock chucks, but no PD's.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
