    Prairie Dog Hunting in Colorado Springs

    As a thank you for sitting on the Leupold Dealer Council (only Canadian dealer) for the past three years, Leupold is setting up a prairie dog shoot for the council members in Colorado Springs. There are about a dozen member dealers on the council and we were used to give honest feed back and advice from independent dealers to Leupold about their products and practices. I will be gone from April 27 to May 01. Due to issues with my bringing my guns into the USA they are supplying guns, ammo and equipment. I have been given a once in a lifetime access to the inner workings of a major sport optics manufacturer and also have met many people in our industry that I might not other wise have met. I have shot prairie dogs before in Montana but haven't had this opportunity for the last 20 years. Sometimes it pays to be in the gun business and this in one of them. Phil.

    Sounds like a blast!

    Nice to get a nod every now and then. Safe travels!

    Congrats Phil, do you think that you will have any access to there Tactical line? maybe an "ad hoc" comparison of the Leupold Mark 6 and Bushnell ERS?

    We already carry their Mark 4 and Mark 6 models but are unable to get Mark 8's due to US trade restrictions. Phil.

    I have now returned from the dog hunt and had a great time. Our host and guide was the very well known guide/outfitter Fred and Michelle Eichler. They have two ranches in southern Colorado between Trinidad and Aguilar and have exclusive hunting leases cover 250,000 acres. There was about 15 people on this hunt and other than one day of rain that we spent sighting in rifles and meetings we had two good days of dry mid 20 C days. We used almost exclusively AR 15 platforms with Leupold scopes. I didn't shoot at as many dogs as I have in the past but still got a fair share and also spotted for the other shooters when not on the guns. Phil.
