I was out In Colorado several weeks ago visiting one of our customers north of Denver, and prarie dogs were everywhere! Unfortunately, they were all within a few hundred feet of an apartment complex or some other sign of civilization that would prohibit their being hunted with a rifle.

I remember thinking how much fun it would be to have a 22-250 and a farmers permission to rid him of the pests.

About an hour or so drive north of Denver is the Pawnee grasslands (along the Colorado Wyoming border). You can shoot 1000 meter (or a mile if you want) distances out there. Lots of prarie dogs there too. The animal rights bunch wants to end shooting the pests and I'm not sure you can still shoot them there, but I know you still could a few years ago. I'll have to check into the current regulations on the grasslands, let me know if you come this way again and I'll get the rundown for you.
