really would like to go prairie dog hunting

[Nulle]

Pack your bags and go West young man lol
The South Dakota GF&P has a map of the dog towns in the State.
Contact local Conservation Officers and State Trappers and see if they know some ranchers that have problems and contact them and see if they would let you hunt them.
Do this before you leave home as there are alot of these ranchers that are cashing in on these critters and you may find they want big $ to hunt them.
I put a small add in one of those free bee papers wanting a place to hunt yotes for my daughter and myself and got plenty of calls.
