Prairie Dog Hunting
« on: December 28, 2004, 06:38:22 AM »
Hello All:  I'm glad to see this forum!  I am a native Texan who has been transplanted to Missouri.  I got hooked on prairie dogs when I was a grad student at Texas Tech, but no longer have much in the way of contacts in the area any more.  Can anyone help me find a place in the high plains to hunt these critters?  Free would, of course, be great, but pay would be ok, too, if there are lots of opportunities.

Thanks in advance.

Ah a subject near and dear to my heart. I've never shot a PD but sure do wanna give it a go one of these days. I too would like info as I suspect most places in Tx are gonna be closer to me than most anywhere else I might go for them.

Maybe I'll get up that way some day. I hope to at least as I'm wanting to drop in on my good buddy Dan who posts here irregularly as Montana. Would love to join you shooting the PDs if I'm ever able to get that far from home.

Yup so I hear they do. So does NM and the area where they join on into other parts of TX I read has them.

Oh, yeah, there are PDs in the Texas panhandle, but they are all on private land, so unless you live in the area it's hard to arrange to hunt.

I used to shoot prairie dogs quite a bit in Colorado when I was at CSU.  Just a very short drive east would do it...  Cattlemen hated the little rats.

Yes, Matt, that's kind of how it was when I was at Texas Tech, but that was a long time ago and things have changed some.  Also, if you're not in the area on a regular basis it makes it harder.  After I retire, maybe I can get out there a bit more often.
