Big green caterpillar with chrome colored spots in my backyard. I have never seen chrome in nature. He was about as long and thick as my middle finger.
Praire dog hunting with one of my sons off the cliffs of the plateau near Wheatland Wy. That’s one of those evil ARs with no legitimate sporting purpose in the foreground. It happens to be capable of .25" 3 shot groups and is good to 600+ yards if I do my part.
Nice! I was refraining from posting dead critter pix for the sensitive types. No need now. Dan took a nice female just before dark. It was pretty dark when I took the photo so it’s a bit grainy. Really nice pelt on it.
I’ll wait and see if anyone asks. If they do, I’ll be the good neighbor and pull them.
A couple of neat things about Wyoming is that there is so much public land. There’s tons of BLM and you can spot p-dog colonies on a satellite map. Also, WY doesn’t require any hunting license, not even small game, to hunt p-dogs and yotes. We have WY hunting licenses for the antelope hunting, but they’re not required for vermin.
Funny how those ARs, with absolutely no legitimate sporting purpose, keep finding their way into hunting pix.
I was using an EOTech on the AR, great for close up. We were using a Ruger Precision for the long stuff. 6mm Creedmore. I killed one at 350 and one at 450.
So on today’s inspection, I have my client in tow. She’s a salesperson for a boutique production builder and buying one of their own inventory homes, so she is very interested and totally engaged in the process. At the back door of the house, I spy a praying mantis. Point it out to her and tell her I consider them good luck. She said she had never heard of that. I responded “Oh yes. Much better than a black widow.”
Not 5 minutes later, we enter the garage and encounter this mother-to-be. Oops! :neutral:
