    Default Varmint Rifle Calibers- Too Big?

    I've seen a few posts and pics of guns that would not be allowed to shoot on private property at prairie dogs of land owners I know.

    Sure, some of these are awesome guns.

    For those of you that shoot on private property at prairie dogs do you have a caliber/size restriction by the land owners?

    I know that the best way to approach a land owner when asking permission is to state that you are only using a 22lr.... at least at first.
    Most of the properties I shoot don't like anything over .223 for p-dogs and some only let you shoot 22lr.
    I have some that let me take a 243 for coyotes, but don't even like 22-250's for p-dogs.
    I have one property that I hunt is over 200,000 acres and they only allow 22lr even for coyotes so property size is not the issue.

    Am I the only one dealing with this caliber/power/size restrictions?

    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
