I'm picturing the spot now that would work wonderfully with that rifle holding down the bench incase a little wind should blow. The dogs seem to have had pretty good success with the size of litters around here. We have quite a few along the road to work out here and there are a few new dead ones o...

There were a lot of mounds, so that picture is deceptive. What you describe mirrors what I saw in Kansas two years ago. I killed two prairie dogs while driving the county roads over there (neither on purpose) and one large jackrabbit. Did you use an outfitter on your trip?

Brad: We did not use an outfitter. I lined up a couple of places to shoot a few weeks before our trip by working the phones a bit. I can also verify that the prairie dog fields are not densely populated. According to locals, the whole area was impacted by some type of disease (not the plague) that ...

Thank You for sharing the photo's. If you don't mind saying what town were you at in Coloarado? I am guessing Holly. Bingo! Does the town advertise in all of the varmint forums or something? I really couldn't believe how many people were out there and we had no idea that the area was so well known.

Rick: The rifle cleaning and fully stocked bar were both self-serve, but somehow we endured. We had to cut and light our own cigars from the humidor as well. Life is rough. :wink: I'm not sure if you're familiar with those benches or rifles, but I highly recommend giving both a spin. <grin>

I just wrapped up a prairie dog trip to eastern CO with my shooting buddies. This was our first trek into Colorado, even though we were only about 20 minutes from a place in Kansas that we shot a couple of years ago. The biggest surprise to me about CO was the sheer number of people who had flocked ...

Coopers are great guns, they just keep getting more and more expensive! Can you even touch one for less than $1800 today? In that price range I'd consider the Sako 85 too. I think the regular Varminter goes somewhere around $1,500 these days. With a bit of searching and patience, a guy can find a g...

Sold

Sorry for the delay in following up with my own thread. I just spoke to a lady at the Colorado Division of Wildlife about this situation. She said that no license is required to shoot prairie dogs on private land that you have permission to be on.

Reduced to $275 TYD.

I'm posting this for a friend, but I have personally seen and put rounds through the barrel and can say it is excellent. If interested, contact me and I will put you in touch with the seller. He's in the St. Louis, MO area if anyone is interested in a local deal. Shilen Select Match bull profile in ...

I don't normally speak for others, but in this case...

Rick: WE WOULD LIKE!!!

Me too! This will be a new area for us and you never quite know what to expect. There are a couple of places in the area with good dog populations that charge, so I suppose we can fall back on that as a last resort.

At least we finally found something useful for the lawyers to do, Bill.




Sorry to any attorneys out there. I know you're not all bad people. It's the 98% that give the rest a bad name.

Thanks Bill. I've read the regulations online and it's not completely clear to me. I plan to call CO and ask someone and will post the answer here if no one else replies first.
