No photo but today I shot a couple of prairie dogs at 483 yards with my 204 ar15 with a nightforce shv 4-14x56 on top of it. I verified one kill with a neck shot, the other one was shot in the leg and it dragged itself back into its hole. I'm pretty sure this is my longest kill so far. I guess this was hunting.

I realize that occasionally prairie dogs are victims of non lethal shot placement, but I think if it was me I wouldn't be bragging about it online.

Apparently, common sense is not all that common.

You guys should send huntsman 22 a PM, I hear he's organizing a prairie dog rescue league.

Agree with some of the thoughts but lets not "throw stones in glass houses". This is a Long Range Hunting forum is it not? Who shoots prairie dogs at 100 yards anyway (except maybe with a .22)? Who hasn't had a few make it to their hole? Not perfect or necessarily desirable but it goes with the sport. "PC" is for those who live in a fictional, make-believe world.

Oh😳 the humanity a wounded sage rat. Thank god the boys from PITA showed up and set us straight.
You girls get the old ladies pants mixed up with yours don’t ya.
LMMFAO
Puzzies like the first three responders are y a guy kills a lion and the left hangs him. about 75% of so called hunters are self righteous left leaning pukes that forget killing is messy. Not to mention they apologies for sitting firmly at the top of the food chain. They are just happy they have more bathroom options. MANtheFUCKup.

That's some good shooting in my book.

Without pictures, it didn't happen. 
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Nice to see you again Fred, yeah anyone who's shot sage rats has had a few escape down the hole, including me. But I don't think it's good form to wound one and brag about it online. If that makes me a puzzy in your eyes so be it. I don't really give a flying fuik what you think.

The thing is, I don't think the OP was "bragging" about anything. He was admitting that one of his shots wasn't clean.
Nothing more than that.
