OMG! Killing prairie dogs, an endangered species.
A couple decades back we were at a National Park where wife and I used to enjoy the evening talks given by the rangers. One talk was on prairie dogs. The the lefty honey that gave the talk said how extinct they were becoming, that one of the few places they have survived was in this park, and their habitat was only a couple of acres.
This was a flat out right lie. We toured the park before the talk, and knew for fact what could be seen from the road amounted to dozens of acres of them. We also knew they were all over the ranching territory nearby creating problems for ranchers.
Many of those listening to her lies got up and left. We never attended another talk.
I confronted a ranger over the lie, the guy just laughed and walked off.
When I lived in Middletown, Ohio in the early 80’s, one of my co-workers introduced me to prairie dog hunting. The farmers southern Ohio farmers were very happy to have you rid their property of them. I was using a 700 Remington chambered in.22-.250 with a Leupold 4-9x scope. Great fun!

What if I said you could add two legs, black disguises and the thrill of a hunt to your practice? And that your practice would be a valuable public service for the entire country? Interested yet? I thought so. Welcome to the wonderful world of antifa hunting, where the tag quota is infinity, the shots commonly vary from 300 to 1500 (or more) yards, and the only thing limiting your success is your level of enthusiasm and a potential ammo shortage and of course getting arrested. Read the rest at liberal hunting.
Well that isn't what the article says, but maybe one day there will be open season on "enemies domestic." :-)
If the liberals keep pushing their insane leftist/socialist/communist/tyranny agenda they might just push this country into open war, and while NONE of us want that (Kosovo in the late 90's as I understand it was not a happy place), I suspect that they'll be even more unhappy with the process than we are.
We used to go to Wyoming to hunt pronghorn (antelope)
and deer. The hunts were in different areas so we
had to drive a ways to get to the antelope area. It
was a sheep ranch and the owner wanted us to shoot
every coyote we could see for obvious reasons.
Conversely, the cattle rancher where we hunted deer
wanted us to leave the coyotes alone. He said the
coyotes didn’t bother the cattle much but they
ate the hell out of prairie dogs and that was a good
thing. The holes dug the prairie dogs were hell on
horse and cattle legs.
My Sons call them, “Plague Puppies.”
They are known to have bubonic plague around here.
My Savage 22-250 works nice.
Also plague sources.
Groundhogs in Kentucky. Farmers would let us hunt as long we killed all we saw. Used a Remington 222, mom removed the “kernel” and then baked them in a big iron kettle with onions and potatoes.
Quite tasty.
You were supposed to ping me!!!! LOL!!

Shoot one ground squirrel and his buddies will skitter over to snack on him. This results in more carrion, and so forth.
