Yeah you got to look carefully to identify your target. No not out east of the Springs. South of Ft. Morgan a bit and up north of Morgan too near Stoneham.

Anyone been out lately since the original post?
What are the rules for hunting on private land? No shooting toward or across a road right? No shooting within so many yards of the road? I remembered that my grandpa has some land near the Wyoming border. I was thinking it was only 10 acres, but apparently my memory of the one time I've been there is rusty, because it is 320 acres. I need to ask him if I can go up there and shoot some prairie dogs. That'd be fun.
Now that I think about it, I think the surrounding land has some cattle, but they may or may not be around. I assume that presence of any live stock just means no shooting on that side?
"There are no finger prints under water."
Its not hunting. Its pest control. Remember these words. Free for all pretty much with common sense.
Lots of owls where I go shoot near Sterling.
They have been out up here for numerous weeks. I need to get the new 17hmr out and brokken in.
Even if on private land, I'd play it safe and make sure you don't shoot within 50 ft of the centerline of a road.

I believe the 50 yard rule only applies to maintained roads. If the road is not maintained by state or county, then you're free to shoot close to or across. When there is doubt, definitely play it safe.
On private land, get permission of the land-owner to act as an agent for pest mitigation and you're good to go.
They are all over the vacant land in Ft. Collins. Can't shoot them and they know it.
My hunting partner and I made a trip to South Central Wyoming last Sunday and got just over three hundred. Got the last hundred in under one hour!
