[QUOTE="tuck2, post: 975055, member: 23575"] Contact the Game and Fish Depts of each state you would like to learn about their prairie dog shooting and regs. I started p dog shooting in1949 and am still enjoy shooting them. In the spring I like using accurate 17 HMR and 17 HM2 rifles when there are lot of shots within 120 and 150 yards. As p dogs get muzzle blast smart by mid summer I switch to a 204 Ruger rifle. By fall one shot will have some of the p dogs going to their holes, the ones that were within short ranges are dead or smart. By late fall I get out accurate 220 Swift and 243 Win rifles with Leupold 6.5x20 AO scopes . When using the 243 Win I have seen p dogs at 400 yards go to their holes at the first muzzle blast shot. Shooting beyond 450 yards takes super accurate rifles . But with any rifle know the bullet drop at various ranges and learn about bullet wind drift. [/QUOTE]
