I can help Nulle out a little.
The weather we are having, is for right now better than we have had for a few years, but it's pretty normal. The rain is good for the grass and the grass is good for the PD's. But that's for now that could totally change by June and sometimes does. I think you should be in good shape for this year. Hopefully we will continue to get more rain through the spring and summer. I live about 90 miles west of Nulle and on my rain gauge as of 5:00 AM 5/5/07 to 5:45 AM on 5/6/07 we had just under 5". Now that's on my rain gauge and that's not the norm for here. but once in a while we will get big storms like that. If we get a 1/2" that's a good rain for here. Can't help you with the Wall area for being good for PD's or not, but the way things are shaping up it looks like it could be a very good year for all the animals.

Thanks gspsonny03, for the update!
I've been trying to set this trip up for some friends and I. We had talked about making the trip, something like 15 years ago, but with two of us starting families and work, Etc. We never did make it. I (We) have never been to S.D. or Prairie dog hunting, and since my friend has had to recently retire (Medical) from being one of the country's top federal snipers, His father and I are trying to make this the start of a semi-annual trip (He misses putting those skills of his to the test.) and give him (and Us!) something to look forward to....
But I'm having a heck of allot of trouble finding out just where the Dogs are/Where we should be.

Unlike Our overpaid politicians, my friend isn't sitting on a large retirement income (Nor am I, I'm only 44 + Wife & 2 teenage kids) So I'm trying to do this as inexpensively as possible, while making it a fun & worthwhile trip.

I hope that things will work out that way for us.

Thanks Again!
