Title: Prairie Dog huntin, still a thing?
Post by: Justdecent on February 13, 2020, 06:30:20 PM: Anyone know of any places a group of responsible hunters could gain some places to shoot some prairie dogs long range? I know it used to be a big thing but haven’t really heard much on the topic lately.

For them it’s mainly for load development and playing with new builds.
They have a loading station that clamps to the tailgate and play with loads while helping out the ranchers who grant them access.
Got access to multiple properties by stopping by a coffee shop/ cafe/ bar and asked, “ anyone need some dead prairie rats?”
Half the room raised their hands.
