The guides on our hunt tell me that the use of AR and AK rifles have a rapidly growing following among hunters, especially prairie dog hunters"

What do they do? Stand over the hole and blast the buggers out with sustained automatic fire?

The beauty of hunting prairie dogs with an accurized AR-15 style rifle is that you can see your impacts through the scope and you have the ability to administer a follow-up shot.

I've got a friend who's got a National Match AR-15 that's more accurate at 100 and 300 yards than his Remington Model 700, and both are chambered in .223 Remington.

I spent a pleasant day on a Wyoming ranch 20 some years ago. The rancher had an M-60 mounted on his porch railing. We used it to eliminate a lot of prairie dogs. This was something he did every few months.
