[QUOTE="smalltruck, post: 1175478, member: 74125"] Big areas of western SoDak were placed off limits to prairie dog hunting by the feds a few years ago. Mostly north of Belle Fourche on the grass lands. I've been told that some SoDak ranchers are also using poison to kill the pd's off. It's legal in SoDak but not in NE, so some ranchers go to SD to buy poison and take it home. However eastern montana and western NoDak look good for PD's again this year. So follow the train tracks from Miles City MT to Bowman ND and you will have good shooting. MT requires a 10 dollar small game license (good for a year) to shoot on state or public owned land. No license needed on private or reservation land. There is lots of public land in Montana in that area. There are also guides for that area. First thing though, know, I mean KNOW, whether or not you are on public land or private land. The OnX gps chips and a good atlas are a requirement. I mean an atlas that list in color private and public lands. Delorme makes a good one. Unscrupulous guides have been known to fib about having an exclusive hunting lease on state lands to people. Ask the state game wardens, no such things exist. Shooting benches are legal, putting that bench in the back of a pickup, or trailer means its in a vehicle and now its shooting from a vehicle. That's illegal. There is a guide in southeast MT, this area, that has a bench bolted into the back of his toyota pickup. Wyoming game wardens ruined his day a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
