Just a little info. on prairie dogs in Colorado. I have a degree in Wildlife Biology and will share some facts with you all.

Colorado has abour 250,000 acres of prairie dogs. for every acre we have wiped outin the past, the dogs have taken over another acre. They cannot be controlled and breed like crazy. They are carriers of fleas that carry the plague. EVERY year we have cases of the plague here due to contact with prairie dogs.

We have tried avery way in the world to get rid of them. Poison, bulldozers, hunting, all have failed to reduce their numbers. Fishing sounds like something good to try.
If you were a landowner paying property taxes on acres and acres of worthless prairie dog towns you might think differently. If you want a few dogs come on out with your PETA buddies and rescue a few.

Do you have golden eagles out there that take care of the dead ones? Seeing a flared-talon majestic bird like that swoop in is enough reason to buy a .22-250 all by its ownself... A guy told me this, I hope it isn't a rural legend.
