Me and a buddy are looking to head out for a couple days to shoot prairie dogs. Is there anyone willing to help out?
 
Wyoming is a big state. Maybe tell us where you're going. Around here, I would suggest: 1. Find a two-track road. 2. Drive down the two-track until you see some prairie dogs. 3. Stop. 4. Shoot them.

We're not lacking for prairie dogs. I could show you 3 colonies in my hometown, just in my neighborhood!
 
Well that’s some real good advice. The area we have hunted for years is no longer as populated. I’m looking for some new areas to go coming from the Evanston area
 
I can’t offer any specifics on where to go. But the big colonies that used to exist have been poisoned or shot out for the most part.

I’m coming from near Ft Collins, Colorado. I live here. Love shooting Prairie Dogs! Great target practice - but hard to find any dog towns down here with any numbers or quality either. Most dogs I’ve seen In Wyoming have been SW of Casper in those areas, plus quite a few around Douglas too. Any ideas for Wyoming ? I used to live in Cheyenne, but never saw many around there either. Any ideas/ information would be very appreciated! Thanks so much !!

Right, when are you going to learn your opinion is worthless? You look older than 12 physically, mentally on the other hand??? Can't be sure, but have a pretty good idea.

Apparently you struggle with facts and opinions.

What I stated is a fact, jack.

An opinion would be something like I think NRs should have to buy a $250-$500 small game license to shoot prairie dogs in Wyoming. Maybe double if you're from Utah.

What’s your problem with shooting prairie dogs? Can’t you hit them?😆

Well crap! I just went and shot about 150 prarie dogs on the 4th... also turned 45 on that same day. Good to hear I'm keeping my mind young as a 12yo.
This farmer friend of mine only has about 2,000 more for me to shoot! Or should I grow up and act my age Buzz?

I think you should keep going. I would even join you. I’ll bring the pop sickles .
 
I'll bet the laugh guys make when they blow the prairie dog into a string of guts is the same laugh Cody Roberts made when he ran that wolf over.

Now think about that before you respond.

I don’t laugh. I know my wind call and elevation call was correct. It’s a good feeling. But I don’t get what you are saying about the wolf being run over. But I don’t care. I enjoy the schit outta shooting prairie dogs. It’s not easy.

Is it the same laugh my friend let out when the prarie dogs caused $30,000 in damage to his bailer when it hit a hole while bailing?

My neighbor is out painting his hayfield red right now. It’s a job for him, and if I hadn’t shot thousands off that field already I’d help him.

But when they cross the road, that’s another story.

Keep mowing those nasty disease hosts down. (y)
 
Hey Blue, those prarie dogs at the sonic are a trip! I bet some of those buggers weigh at least 8 lbs.! Living off fast food will do that!🤣

Cool story bro, let me guess the same guy had 2-3 hundred head of cattle and/or horses break their legs in prairie dog holes.

Yeah, heard that one too.

I've heard some whoppers but prairie dog holes causing $30k in damage to a bailer? 😆😂

Hopefully you took something in the .338-.375H&H to sort out those prairie dogs.

Wow, just Wow!
 
Oh yeah? Why don’t you try it and prove us wrong dead eye dick! Let’s see you hit one after another. They are harder to hit then big game.

I did, when I was 12...out grew it.

You think it would be a problem or challenging for me to shoot pdogs?

Yeah, ok...5 shots at 100 with the primary rifle I hunt with:

I hear it works pretty well at 620 on elk:

I learned to shoot like that at a rifle range, and shooting steel. I pick the chittiest days (wind, etc) I can to "practice", shooting off my pack, in the dirt.

Hint...

Be more specific...

What rifles? What animals?

Go on.

This very good at 300 with a 7RM? Think it would be "tough" to hit a pdog with this rifle?

Asking for a friend:

All my rifles shoot like that. So yeah what else you got?
You’re a real advocate for hunters 😆. We should stick together, not bash ones that don’t do what you approve of. Not a damn thing wrong with shooting prairie dogs. Hell of a lot hard to hit a 2” wide rat at 3-500 yards with wind. An elks vitals are what 12”? Pretty easy.

Buzz is a first rate ***** head, he’s one of those guys that is constantly looking over his shoulder for fear someone is lurking… those kind of folks “ I use that term loosely” never know who they’ve pissed off… Fact!

On the other hand… Buzz’s significant other, whether that’s jm77 or, if some poor woman actually married buzz, they’d probably say that’s my OPINION …

Says the guy begging for a place in Wyoming to shoot prairie dogs.

Real tricky to find those wiley things, almost as hard as shooting one.

Why don't you stay in Utah and shoot prairie dogs?

About time to see about requiring a NR license to shoot them here. Tired of giving away resources to NR's.
 
Ya 2” wide! What the hell do you think they are? You are a real class act . Why don’t you just move along to a site for pricks like you

I’m not begging for anything. You’re one of them Wyoming bit@h’s that think they own everything.

Takes a real "man" to shoot a prairie dog...tuffie.

BTW, its too...and if you need the practice, sounds like you're the one that's TOO shitty of a shot.

Actually, according to State law, public trust doctrine, and Supreme court cases...yes, as a matter of fact, Wyoming Residents do own the wildlife here. That would include prairie dogs.

You got something right! Congrats!

Ok slick. If you knew anything about shooting them you would get it. But you don’t. So go back to playin with yourself. You’re such a big bad hunter. You stick to shooting your mouth off. I’m sure someone will someday knock your knob gobblers out

I shot plenty between 6-12 years old, so yes, I do know about shooting them.

I also learned after turning about 12 years old, it was no fun or challenge any longer.

Yep, and the people of Wyoming will decide how much we need to start charging you to do so.

The GF could use the revenue.

Same reason you're about to get a $75 application fee for applying here. Same reason you're paying $1200 for special deer and pronghorn, and $1950 for elk, etc.

Ya whatever. Been killin them for years. I don’t give a schit what you think or say. You couldn’t hold a candle next to us shooting them. So keep flappin your lips like you’re some bada$$. We all know different.

Sure seems you're doing a lot of justifying to prove your manhood by shooting a pdog.

If you're as good as you say, why are you still practicing on prairie dogs that you claim you're such a badass at shooting?

First you need the practice, then you're so good, nobody can hold a candle shooting next to you?

Which is it?

I think it's something more than that.

It was quiet enjoyable when I was 6-12 years old, very fun.

Just not sure how many a person has to kill before they figure out its easy, and like watching paint dry.

FFS, a guy on this very thread bragged about shooting "about 150" of them on his birthday. Seems like if it was "hard" like you claim, 150 a day would be very rare.

I used to shoot 100-150 a day when I was 6-12 years old too, why I know its not "hard".

Actually, it's the 4th one I've drawn.
 
How many prairie dogs does it take to equate a broken leg on another 4 legged critter. Or the plague. Or the flees? Perhaps the rattlers need more food? Can't forget about saving the raptors. They are nothing more than a sage country rat. Seriously folks, bitching about prairie dogs FFS!!! 🤣🤣

Why? I mean sheep hunting is way easier than the challenge of a pdog.

Jeez, everyone knows that!

Somone should have told Jack O'Connor to write a book on prairie dog hunting, would have been a best seller!

Instead, he just wrote about boring old rams...

This is no game for the weak-kneed and faint-hearted. Hunter success is not high, not because there aren’t enough sheep but because there aren’t enough people with the temperament to become sheep hunters.
—“The Bighorn,” March 1960
The wild ram embodies the mystery and magic of the mountains, the rocky canyons, the snowy peaks, the fragrant alpine meadows, the gray slide rock, the icy, dancing rills fed by snowbank and glacier, the sweet, clean air of the high places, and the sense of being alone on the top of the world with the eagles, the marmots, and the wild sheep themselves.
—“The Bighorn,” March 1960
 
You're the one who brought sheep into the conversation.... nobody likes a bragger, sheep boy.
If I am lucky enough to draw a sheep tag before I die, I probably won't be shooting (not hunting) pdogs that year because I will be too busy scouting out the biggest ram in the unit. The fact that you find yourself on here harassing people looking for shooting/ recreation opportunities just shows where your priorities are. You are a petty POS.

Ain't bragging if you've done it.

Just sayin'.
 
I shot a Prarie dog last year to make sure my gun was on lol been about 20 years since I actually went Prarie dog hunting. Gets pretty boring after the first 500 or so. Ammunition was allot cheaper then too
 
That being said Prarie dog towns are pretty easy to see on onx satellite mode that's about all the help you should need
 
I have an area to go. They’re just not very plentiful. I was just looking for other areas to venture. I’m not rich and gas and time are tight. That’s it. I enjoy going out and getting shooting in. Don’t make me any different than anyone else. Even though buzz is a jackass and has a burr up his ass. Been a member here since this site was started. I don’t post or comment because there is ass hats like buzz on here that love to degrade people. Just the nature of the internet. I’m sure he’s a super guy 🙄😆

"Quite"
 
Congrats on your sheep tag though Buzz. They must be required to give a D-bag a tag every so often which has allowed you to draw 4 tags. Keep it up and you might draw a 5th one. Being a total douche to people stopped being fun when I was 12 and I grew out of it. But shooting Prairie dogs will always be fun no matter how old I get.

Who cares if a guy likes to shoot prairie dogs! Let him have his fun! And they absolutely do cause damage for some farmers and that cannot even be argued. They are fun to shoot and a great way to practice with your rifle and stay sharp. Shooting prairie dogs and calling varmints has allowed me to gain more skill with a rifle than anything else. Shooting from a bench or from your pack at steel is great but small targets like prairie dogs at varying distances or varmints constantly on the move are a lot more valuable for making you a deadly hunter. Shooting rabbits is fun! Shooting squirrels is fun! Shooting rats with a pellet gun is fun! Shooting foam targets with an arrow is fun! Shooting $hit is just plain old fun.

Ridiculous how much crap a guy can catch for just wanting to go out and have some fun wasting ammo.

I don't shoot them for recreation, for several reasons. But I've shot a lot of them of my business lot and out of my fields. I don't really see the difference.
 
Never shot a prairie dog, but I’m cool with guys who do. Fellow hunters… and all that.

And I do have a few more rams than Duzz. Magnificent creatures. As he says, not braggin’, if ya done it.

Duzz.. when you go up to Montana for your ram, don’t you dare shoot another dink for your garage wall. Show us a big one!

Lol, wasn’t this thread about prairie dogs ?!?! We used to roam 4 states eradicating them ! North, South Dakota, Wyo, and eastern Montana ! Good times back in the day, think this trip cooked both those Ruger 220 swift barrels !
