Let’s see your pup

We have a pack of five dogs, four are rescues. We are maxed out, that’s it!

Max- our 7 year old 105 lb blue Doberman. He’s my wife’s protector, a loyal and fearless dog. My third Doberman. My favorite breed but probably my last, a lot of training required.

The rest are our rescues, once trained, all wonderful dogs.

Bandit- 12 year old border collie/heeler mix. Poor Bandit was hogtied in wire and left for dead out in a field. He’s been a great boy.

Nala- 7 year old red and white husky saved from a kill shelter. Damn near wild, but with a little training, turned out to be a sweet wonderful dog.

Eva- 3.5 year old black and white husky. Dumped on the county road near our home. Our most vocal dog and maybe our smartest. Definitely a drama queen!

Sadie- 2.5 year old, we think mountain cur and heeler mix. Dumped on county road by our front gate. When I saw a car just miss her by about a foot at 65 mph I knew we had to save this dog. Got her dewormed, vaccinated and I trained her with the idea of re homing her but then I got attached, here we are a year later. :)

My explosive detection / apprehension partner was a brindle Dutch… smartest and hardest working animal I’ve ever owned… “Nick, the Prick” was the most feared and beloved dog at my agency… simply an awesome animal…

You’re a good man! We also have a rescue dog that someone dumped out in the country. But four??? Respect!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
