We had some decent luck in the morning with an overcast day, but when the sun came out later, so did the rest of the Prairie Dogs. We got some great footage. :2gun:
I had to "De-Gore" the video a bit. :lol8:

After I took a few nasty scenes out of the video, it's finally up.
Where is the "not so de-gored" version?
Maybe I'll email it. :haha:Quote:

How many did everybody shoot?
Looks like it could be fun... but which species of prairie dog is that? From the looks of it, it's probably not the Utah Prairie dog... but if it was... better hide these pics since the Utah Prairie dog is an endangered species :roll:

edit: oh, they are listed as "threatened", but might be moved to endangered soon.
Also - to clarify - I'm not trying to cast judgement or say you shouldn't do this - just might want to double check that no crazy people see these pics and try to get you thrown in jail for killing a specific species of rodent.
The protected rodents that are tunneling in cemeteries (http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=11727349&hl=5) are exclusive to southwest Utah, We were in Wyoming.Quote:

Carl Spackler could use your services... :haha:

I'd be careful popping Prairie Dogs -- they are a protected species in Utah. You can be federally prosecuted for shooting them.

The 5Mile pass to Jericho areas used to be heavily populated with Jack Rabbits, Prarie dogs and Coyotes.. nothing remains. Everything decimated. Never understood why its fun to blast these little critters, only to let them rot..
There are many ranchers /farmers in Montana,Wyoming, Colorado and the Dakota's that welcome hunters to thin out the population of prairie dogs. They cause a lot of problems with crops and livestock. These are not the same prairie dogs that are protected in Utah.Quote:

As for Five Mile Pass that is what happens when you have a large population of people living that close to an area everybody loved to use for shooting.
It doesn't make much sense to me to just blow them up like that for the hell of it. But if some rancher or farmer hired me to take care of what is an obvious problem, I'd pick them off all day long.
These things will never go extinct. There's a colony of what must be at least 30 living on a piece of land nearby that's about a big as two semi trucks. It's right up against apartment balconies and they throw vegetables out there.
It's too bad we never figured out how to eat the things.
Oh, I've eaten them.. not really too much different than squirrels or sage grouse.Quote:
