These "conservation groups" (liberal enviro-nutjobs) do not know ANYTHING about Prarie Dogs. Other than they are something else "cute" to cause trouble over. They know nothing of the ability of this animal to proliferate, adapt, and if left alone, would infest any country side with huge colonies of them...

No, just more liberal nutjobs looking for another stupid, unjustifed cause to create trouble with.

Gunnison's prairie dog has the most sophisticated communications yet documented among non-humans.

I guess this would include the Dimocrats.....Oh, nevermind, they don't have a sophisticated communications system....

There goes my excuse for buying a 22-250 tack driver. Heck, I may buy it anyway and shoot paper prarie dog targets.

I saw a video at a gun show of prarie dogs being shot with those ballistic-tip bullets with the little plastic tip in the hollow point. The prarie dogs exploded into chunks when hit. It was pretty kewl.

Gentlemen, start your varmint guns.

And, remember: Shoot, shovel, and shut up.

Interesting that the enviro-freaks are using the term 'conservationists' these days. In the past, the term was clearly connected to sportsmen/women, farmers and others with land-use connections. In fact, the environmentalists are entirely different critters. Maybe they find their usual monikers are winning them more enemies than friends?

I've got a video of terrorists in Afghanistan being shot by .50 cal sniper rifles. Same thing.

I went on a prairie dog shoot/hunt a few years ago in s w Colorado and the enviro-wackos thought they would scare off the prairie dogs by blowing horns and rattling things and blowing whistles. They just made the critters pop up and look around-we had good shooting and the wackos went more wacko.

I find it hard to believe anyone (mindless liberals excepted) could figure out how to significantly reduce the population of whistle-pigs. If have seen colonies so vast, beyond where the eye can see. They are more prolific than ILLEGAL ALIENS. And that says something.

Just enviro-nutjobs making trouble where they has been none for hundreds of years...liberals have very little to do with their little minds.

Its too bad that the enviro-nutjobs are not an "unprotected species with no closed season"!!!

...rotten, little rodents are everywhere, like roaches in the east. ...can't get rid of enough of 'em. The peaks are riddled with 'em.

A prairie dog is a damn rodent. Very hard to wipe out. OBVIOUSLY the eco-freaks are scheming to put more land off limits to development because of some mangy rodent

If it is the same one someone sent me, the terrorists are actually Rock Chucks. Look closely and you can see some crawling around in the rocks prior to the shots.

I just got back from Montana had a great time shooting the liitle varmints.

Yes the ballistic tips does blow them into little chunks. But so does a good serria bliz or any good vel hollow point. I lunched quite a few into the air parts and chunks all over the place.
