If you see a prairie dog in the distance that seems to be leaning, it is likely not a dog at all. It's a burrowing owl - don't shoot!

Take two rifles. That way one can cool while the other carries on,

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

…..yup.....I usually take 3,500 rounds when I go. As to two rifles......it usually requires more than that.....I've gone with eight of different calibers from .223 to .25-06

I like shooting ballistic tip ammo, less chance of ricochet. Be mindful of the direction you shoot and where the livestock are located. I’ve shot a few towns in SD while pheasant hunting. Usually after the first shot the dogs get down and you have to wait out a dumb one or two. Like others said, it depends on how much shooting the town gets. If not many shoot at it, the shots will be close and plentiful, a lot of shooting on the town will give you 150+ yd shots.

I shoot a lot of dogs, usually 1000+ in a weekend. I use a .223 single shot with a 6-24 scope, but I rarely need the top end magnification. In my experience in MT, the .22 rimfire is too much affected by the ever present wind for consistent kills beyond 100 yards. I do use a .22 handgun for dogs who sneak up on me.
Shot distance depends on terrain and the town. You can make them as long as you like.
Or, I will volunteer to come out to WY and handle the problem! You might take a “clicker” along on your next trip, you will be amazed at how many less than 1000 dogs you will actually shoot...
