Anyone have a reliable place for prairie dogs or coyotes they are willing to share info about?

LOTS of the p-dogs I shoot disappear...blood trails indicate what's left of the dead ones got dragged down the hole before days end. Wonder if the live ones pull the dead ones down to prevent a predator feeding frenzy?

Animals that size frequently cannibalize their dead in order to keep the carcasses from attracting predators.

So it sounds like knocking on doors and asking to hunt is the best bet ? Is there no coyotes or p dogs out a pawnee ?

[newracer]

There is but they get a lot of pressure.

Like most other guys, I leave the p-dogs lay. The circle of life thing. Coyotes we take for the fur, unless we are doing predator control in the spring and fall when the hides are no good, then they end up in a ditch out of site. The bigger ranches that we hunt have a dead pile for cows that don't make it and so coyotes with mange or poor fur end up there.

Where I shoot p-dogs the raptors have figured out that shooting means a free meal. The start showing up about 30 minutes after the first shot.

I'm sorry, did I read that right? Do you go p-dog shooting in Jurassic Park?

[newracer]

Yep, as long as we shoot enough p-dogs to fill them up they will leave us alone.

That's why ya got to lie real still......

Wyoming is nice this time of year.

Yes it is, my boy and I spent four days painting the prairie red with P-Dogs and Jacks.

The Shirley Basin north of Laramie is a good place to shoot some dogs if you want to make a day trip. The last time I was up there it was good shooting. No body else around, and you don't need a small game license to shoot em. A buddy and I set up about ten different places and shot hundreds of rounds and killed lots of rats.

If born after 1965 you need a hunters safety card unless shooting on relatives property, this goes for P-Dogs and Predators.

I'm curious.

For those of you for have secured permission to hunt pdogs & yotes on someones private land, what do YOU (each person is different, so I'd love to hear everyones responses) do with the carcasses?

I hunt on family owned land and we just let them lie in hopes of getting a Yote to come in at dusk to feed. Also you can use artificial light to hunt Yotes in Wyoming on private ground and written permission from the landowner.
