    Prairie dog hunts

    My dad made a few hunts up Montana and Wyoming, years ago. Had fun, but seems the PD's are just starting to make a come back. Sierra Blanca, TX had a great size town, but rancher has since passed, so lost that access.

    Woodnut, thanks for your input. I agree, the older I get the more I realize quality time is valuable. No need to work harder to safe a few buck. June up north sounds like a great plan. I'll post when I get something set up.

    Rosebud, sounds familiar. Believe my dad got to shoot a few of those hunts, just remember him having a good time with 200 round days and lots of good company meeting new friends in the evenings.

    Thanks to both K9TXS, and Bret. Both are great ideas, this will help in my research. Don't think I'll be doing the scouting part, that's a bunch of places and time spent.

    Very understandable. Thanks for the heads up and suggestions. It has been so long since I've done any PD hunting, was looking for any clues, even a state would be appreciated.

    Prairie dog hunts

    Thanks for the encouragement, the ranch we used to hunt on is no longer. Open cattle ranges are going away. So sad. Hope you back heals as quickly as possible. Life is short, so we need to play hard when we can.

    Spring is HERE

    I am with lancetkenyon, waiting for garage to warm up so I can get some work done out there. Hence I am on the forum. El Paso is supposed to get to 60 today, and I'll still be in layers.

    Prairie dog hunts

    New to forum, reminded me how much fun prairie dog hunting was. Anyone know of current hunting grounds? My dad used to go on organized hunts up in Montana and Wyoming, always had a great time. Now that I am semi retired, I would love to attend one. Last post I saw, was from 2021. Any updates...
