Prairie Dogs, some questions. . .

Coyotes,birds of prey,owls?,flies, crows and other things clean up the mess for you. Shoot em' and forget em' ! I might walk to them and see the damage but I NEVER touch em'. Nasty little things! The landowner that lets me shoot em' on his property wouldn't want someone messing with the confetti pieces. I mean carcases.

Its the black tailed ones the tree huggers are concerned about. I know for a fact that I haven't ever shoot one of those! They are so much cuter than the regular brownish colored tailed ones. ! are allways trying to backdoor us! Get the black tailed one on the list and someone if not many will get caught blasting one perhaps and have to pay up.

I haven't taken the time to get into it, but wouldn't mind if I had a connection. Just be respectful and don't ruin it for the rest of us.

Just out of curiosity for those of you who do shoot dogs, what do you do with the carcass? Are landowners OK with leaving them out?

Oh yeah, I have to say it...aren't prarie dogs on the top of the list to be added to the Endangered Species Act as threatened?

(Seriously though, they are trying to get them added).

Between the hawks, golden eagles, buzzards, badgers and coyotes, don't worry about the dead bodies. Nature takes care of itself.

I have several spots that I shoot on a regular basis where I am convinced the hawks recognize my truck.

You forgot crows, ravens, seagulls, 'possums, fox, bobcat, and the ever present feral dogs. After a good PD shoot there is a veritable smorgasbord buffet spread out for the hungry critters. Usually, there is no trace to be found after 48 hours. (Except for a certain jackrabbit shoot I can remember, lol.)

Almost forgot. In certain parts of WY that has high alkalinity, the Pdogs have a fondness for dining on their recently exploded comrades. In those areas, we consider dead PD's as "chum".
