Thanks. I’m blessed to have a great son to help with pics and trimming the population.
These dogs are all very buff for sure.

This was my fave "chore" on the farm growing up. Get handed a slinger and they would say go to the pasture and pop Prarie dogs: off i went until they came to get me at dusk
Other times it was a shovel and go kill snakes, bb gun for sparrows in the barn, etc...

Man I don't know how many thousands of rounds I have shot at those nasty things!
Have had a few friends about die from those things as well. BE VERY CAREFUL when you are handling these buggers. My buddies ended up getting bubonic plague from these guys. Spent the better part of 4 months in the hospital! I wont touch them, just leave them where they lay and let the birds and critters take care of them.

Good job !
I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous ! Shooting pdogs with my M3 is one of my favorite things to do. But here in North Dakota I will have to wait till the end of April or early May before we have nice enough weather for pdogg'n !

@Leadpills how about some details?
That photo is good but what gun, the caliber and distance?
I’m just starting to hunt them in Nebraska with my air guns. Avenger Bullpup in 25 and a TexanSS in 308.
Many if not most are 75-100+ yds away and that’s stretching it out there.
I strive for "one shot one kill", and don’t want them to suffer.
I’m able to (most of the time) with my PB’s make the one shot kill.
Thanks

Agreed, out by Dickenson and west you fill find them all over. Would spend days driving around with buddies finding towns. Heck we use to get a nickel for each tail we would bring back to a farmer.

We are shooting impact mk2s
22 cal 700 mm slug liners shooting 34 gr patriots. Pushing 1050fps. Longest kills so far are right on 400 yrds. I’ve been working on 500 but between the out of gas syndrome and the wind here in Oklahoma it’s pretty much pissing in the wind.
I recently acquired a 25 cal impact mk2 I’ve been slowly converting to slug slinger. I’ve got 7 tins of pellets left to send down the tube first.
But works well out to about 100 yrds

Oh and just gotta say we do try our best to be ethical about killing. It is just fact that bad shots happen. Especially At long distances. That being said we are shooting on private land that the landowner was on the verge of poisoning the herd. So we are shooting as many as possible to keep that from happening
So far so good just a good guess but I’d say we average about 100 kills per trip.

I see that you're from ND. Is ND better than western SD for pdog populations? I've been around the Murdo SD region with so-so luck. Seems like you need to know ranchers/farmers. And a lot of them are charging money to get on their land. Public lands are pretty popular and not too productive.

Yeah things have gotten weird the past 10 years. Back in the late 90's eary 2000 farmers were HAPPY to have you out on their fields killing these pests. But with to many stupid people causing issues and destroying things it has gotten much harder to find areas to shoot. If you can go on google earth and do some scouting, and then use an app like OnX hunting to find out the owner of the land. Then just give them a call and let them know what you are looking to do.
ND and SD as well as MT are GREAT for pdogs, but you need to know where to go. When I was growing up closer to the dog towns I would cruise out around Dickenson and South East towards the border. I haven't been out there in years being as I live on the opposite side of the state now.
