I am heading to Wy for an antelope hunt in October. Rancher has asked us to spend some time killing dogs on his place. I've never shot them. In order to take out of the most dogs in the shortest amount of time should we take .22 rimfires to keep the noise down so that they will hopefully pop their heads up more or would it simply be best to set up further away and shoot them with .223s? How far away from the colony should we set up for maximum killing.

Thanks,
Dan
