So I am finding out. Maybe our elk outfitter will know of something, will be at his place in about 2 weeks. Even if he does, not sure I want to make the drive back to Plains again, long 2000 miles. You might want to look at New Mexico. Clark

I know of several around here.
Hunters may be tight lipped, but local farmers generally are not. Jim, are you a hunter or a farmer???

BWalker: I started Hunting Prairie Dogs back in the 1960's and have been a avid advocate of that endeavor ever since. For the next 40+ years I suggested and helped set-up MANY neophyte Prairie Dog Hunters with their first "Prairie Dog rigs". For that 40+ years I always suggested the new Hunter consider/buy a heavy barreled Rifle in 223 Remington - these guns are normally very accurate, somewhat mild of recoil, have long barrel life and have adequate ballistic performance to keep a new Prairie Dogger content. Then in early 2,004 I bought my first Varmint Rifle in caliber 204 Ruger - I was amazed at this cartridges performance and its attributes! Then in 2,005 I enthusiastically began advocating/suggesting that new Prairie Doggers use this cartridge (204 Ruger) - ALL I have suggested this to have been pleased with my recommendations to date. I currently own and use 8 (eight) heavy barrel Varmint Rifles in caliber 204 Ruger, and the accuracy provided by each of them simply amazes me! Indeed I proclaim the 204 Ruger to be more reliably accurate in factory Varmint Rifles than the 223 Remington! I base this contention on the first hand experiences of not just myself but the observed results of MANY of my Varminting/shooting friends. Couple this splendid accuracy with the flatter trajectory of the 204 Ruger (at distances which 99%+ of Prairie Dogs are shot - 500 yards and under!) the lessened recoil and the amazing lethality of those speeding 204 bullets and I have a new most favored, most recommended "Prairie Dog rig" - the 204 Ruger! (reference page 186 of the Remington 2,017 product catalog if you have ANY questions comparing the 204/223!). Like sdgunslinger above I have a pair of exceptionally accurate Ruger Model 77 V/T's in caliber 204 Ruger - they are among my most accurate and favored of my many factory Colony Varmint Rifles. Yep that would be my recommendation - look for a Ruger 77 V/T in caliber 204 Ruger strap on plenty of scope power and "go to town"! Best of luck to you with whichever you choose. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I'm looking at the 204 Ruger for next year. I expect the barrel on my current 22-250 will be toast by then as it already has close to a thousand rounds on it.

Travis I suspect it would have worse barrel life than the 22-250.
