I asked a PETA rep about that concerning a squirrel story,he said,”We don’t comment on political issues”.
Prairie dogs are fun to shoot. It’s a challenge because they hide if they see you.
You eat ‘em. They carry plague.
I use lots of Garlic,kills the plague.
Yes, protect the prairie dogs. Because there are not enough cases of plague these days. /s
Best to avoid them, they often carry leprosy.
But worst of all are the rabid coons. You certainly don't want those in your neighborhood.
lol. And by the way they also benefit cattle by improving the quality of forage which regrows by removing dead plant material and and maintaining that quality for a longer period of the growing season. Ranchers are ignorant...
I don’t hate much, but I hate gophers. The destruction they can achieve in 48 hours rivals goats.
rabid coons.
= = =
Coons carry a LOT of diseases. Their droppings can infect kids and dogs.
Survey in SoCal showed 95% of roadkill coons were infected.
There is a specific type of roundworm that raccoons carry that can cause problems in dogs and humans. This specific roundworm (Baylisascaris) will migrate to other organs, including the brain, and cause severe inflammatory reactions.
Not cute and friendly any more.
No shooting limits where I go in W Kansas and SE Colorado.
It gets really fun when the pups are present! :)
True story.. Back in the 1990’s the city of Hutchinson, KS built softball fields on an existing Prairie Dog town withinin the city limits.
To placate the do gooders the city fathers hired this outfit that had a contraption that flooded the hole with a soapy solution and then the prairie dogs were vacuumed out.
These prairie dogs were then relocated to a wildlife preserve outside Great Bend Ks. Funny thing.. When they were turned loose apparently all of the Badgers in the vicinity ate them all up... Funny outcome
I haven’t been out to SDAK in years, but my favorite round was .220 Swift.
No need to sneak up on them.
Your comment is bullshit.....
Hope the FWS has success with peanut butter for ferrets. Is there an oral vaccine for raccoons as well ?
Right - you can have my share
So, is DTR, Jr suppose to hold it up by its hind wuarters to determine if it’s pregnant?
Skip that.
They are an ecological disaster that needs to be culled amd stewed...
I wish I had asked Grandpa if they tasted like rabbit. Well I don’t intend to find out. :)
Not fleas .... fresh ground pepper maybe ? :o)
Just joking, best thing about sod poodles and grass grizzlies is they dig they’re own graves.
Used to shoot them in northern Colorado. Knew a guy who had horses on ground overrun with prairie-rats so we had a standing invite to shoot as often as we liked.
We could walk in empty drainage canals and pop up and blast away with .22s.
Extra points when you nail one standing in front of their hole right in the chest. They’d stagger back a few steps and fall in the hole. We called it “dying Hollywood.”
Center fire cartridges were too easy and less fun. The recoil meant you couldn’t see the drama through the scope unless you were the spotter. Besides, Hollywood was much more entertaining than “pink mist.”
Despite our best efforts, they finally got too bad and the rancher cleaned them out with poison.
