Pdog advice for an easterner - 03/08/16
My dad (70) and I have decided to take a trek west to do a little guided prairie dog hunting.
We haven't settled yet on where to hunt, but are open to western SD, WY, MT and possibly western KS.
We're hunting with ARs (among other rifles), so we're skipping CO as an option.
We'd figured on getting a guide since this is our first time hunting prairie dogs.
We're driving out in our own vehicle so we have flexibility, and can do a little tourism, since we haven't been out west since the early '90s.
I'd like to hear any recommendations you guys have as far as states/regions to hunt in, whether to opt for a guide on their own land vs a lease, reservation hunts or not, localized prairie dog population advice, or any other things we should consider.
Any specific guide recommendations are also very welcome.
