I'll stay out of your fight region6 , but you know after watching the pd's spread the bubonic plaque thru the Thunder Basin grasslands in wyo to the Buffalo Gap grasslands here in SD handling them is not to bright. On thru BG grasslands across private into Ft Pierre grasslands and north thru the reservations. Even some in the Grand River grasslands up by Lemmon SD. I am sure it made it to ND too. All I need from them is to watch them launch or flop if they make back to their hole so much the better. Shrapnel gets off handling dead dogs too so your not the only one. Set a good example not an uninformed one. Pictures of handling dead dogs that could be carriers is not smart..mb

I generally stand in the sidelines and listen to your $hit. That is not a prairie dog. That’s a gopher, ground squirrel, example of your bull $hit. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/KvFwZX7G/IMG-1817.jpg) 😘 You are a stupid fu ck for picking up that flea bag. Damn you ran when god said brains, because you though he said rains.. It's good to stay on the sidelines, unless you want to learn a little something about shooting. If not. STFU..

Tikka Nut: Those long tailed Weasels (that you pictured/posted) are legal to Hunt/shoot where I woods loaf!
Are you confusing that Long Tailed Weasel with the Black Footed Ferrets which are federally protected everywhere?

Prepare yourself...a lot if not most PD shooting nowadays is pay to play. Remember.........p/dogs like irrigated property With that means a $250K irrigation pivot system (per field) . I have shot PD's for years and years in MT and have had quite a few extended trips to WY, CO and UT and I cannot ever remember shooting a PD in an irrigated field. I have shot a lot of ground squirrels in irrigated fields but even they seem to concentrate more around the edges of them rather than in the field itself. Curious - it makes me wonder if PD's liking irrigated fields is just a regional thing? drover
223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

Irrigated fields & edges of these fields are magnets to them Even while the pivots or wheel lines are running water Just last year...dogs directly under the running wheel line...taking a bath... Soggy dead dogs right now Wheel lines are on 12 or 24 hr sets...run mine on 24 hr sets Meaning they are rolled ahead approx 100' every 24 hrs..ground gets a good soaking Pivot systems...when they run/roll/move...they're on timers...Can't barely see the wheels rolling Once the field is watered over...they're shut down till next time Not sure of your knowledge of these systems....

Prepare yourself...a lot if not most PD shooting nowadays is pay to play. That would suck!!! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nM9e2fy.jpg) Shot one at 500 yards the other day, with the 308w, with my SWAT buddy watching through the spotter. The dog didn't want to come too far out of his hole, so I shot. I saw the dog flopping around after the shot, but couldn't quite make it out through the NF. Buddy said, "you shot his damn head off". I said, I didn't know if I hit him, but I saw him flopping around. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yBw7rbR.jpg) Right now, with it snowing off and on, our opportunities are very few and far between. Good luck to the OP. Hopefully he finds a great place to shoot.. That is definitely a ground squirrel not a PD. The general area of PD habitat is west of the Mississippi, east of the Rocky mountains and south of Canada, although there are a few scattered colonies in extreme southern Canada. Factoid - per the USFW there are 15 species of ground squirrels in the northwest (ID, OR, WA, MT, CA) and 4 species of marmmot and rock chucks, but no PD's. drover

Pic......20 Duece (20-222) cleaning house with the 40 V Max We have pivot systems here so I am familiar with them. I lived in MT for 25 years and I had never seen PD's and pivots in the same field in any of the places that I have hunted, but I have seen ground squirrels in them. Actually pivots brought a great resurgence to the local ground squirrel population, prior to pivots most of the places here were ditch irrigated and the ground squirrel population was very low, once the pivots were installed the population boomed. I suppose mostly because of them not being flooded out by the ditch irrigation. Also because we are like your area and are very dry and the squirrels depend on their moisture from what is on the plants. Interesting to say the least. drover

Avg of 7 cases a year for the last decade..
Scary stuff boys
Almost as scary as covid...
Hell, sitting on your shooting bench in or around a field covered in pdogs is probably just as likely to get plague. What makes ya think those fleas are only ON the pdogs.

Yes the plague has been very hard on the ‘dogs. Over populated on ground that the forest circus banned shooting on sure didn’t help.
