I prefer the .460 Weatherby for prairie dogs.  It makes me flinch so much I'm not very accurate, but all I have to hit is the dirt mound it sits on.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or destroy it, piss on it and walk away!
