$375 per prairie dog to remove?
Gimme a 30-06 and I'll do it for half that.

I’ll do it for a third - and be done in about 2 days, and still get significantly more than my annual salary.
There are plenty of people who would gladly do it for free.

Gimme a 30-06 and I'll do it for half that.Ideally, if the town is in a ravine or lower than your stand, a .22 LR will suffice, if you can get inside 100 yds.
If you insist on hi-power long arms, and have to stand off 300 plus yds, the .223 ($160.00 / 500 round can for my last purchase) in bull barrel, 9-16 x 35 bullet drop comp scope, is the cheapest I've found for hours of pasture poodle plinking.
My favorite set up is to put my spinner, tripod shooting seat and support in the bed of a pickup and drive to within range. Gives you that "sahib' tiger safari and a B-17 gun turrent feeling. The AR-15 with a 20 rd clip in this will make 'em dance.

A dollar a head bounty on the prarie dogs should clear out most of them the first weekend.
Spending $375.00 each to get rid of them makes it sound like californians has taken over the government there.

Nah, George — you’re going to be spending waaaaay too much on ammo to feed that -06.
And let’s say you have some Lake City surplus ball left over — don’t be wasting it on PD’s, man.
Go get yourself a .17 HMR. I’m here to tell you, it is like a thunderbolt on rodents. Ammo is about $130 for 500 rounds, it is more accurate than you ever thought a rimfire could be, and it drops them like the hammer of Thor out to 200+ yards.
I’ve even killed coyotes and badgers with a .17HMR. Amazing round. You wouldn’t think that a little 17gr V-max pill could do what it does, but trust me — it is like lightening in a bottle. Awesome.
And in regards to the proximity of this, you don’t need to worry about ricochets with .17’s. That itty-bitty pill just blows apart on contact with, well, anything. Max 30 yard scatter after you hit the ground.

Anybody ever see that "nature show" where they hooked up one of those huge street vacuum trucks and padded the "box," and they just suck the little critters out of their holes? I remember seeing a video made from in the box, and you see this little furry ball go flying by, bouncing off the padded wall, and landing on the padded floor. After a few moments, the dazed critter gets up, and starts exploring its new digs!
