Shooting prarie dogs can be the funnest thing and the most aggravating all at once. There an outfitter called no mercy down by chickasha that lists pdog hunts. There's a bunch around el reno also one of the easiest ways to find places to shoot are craigslist or take out a small ad in a rural local paper. It's tons of fun and will challenge and hone yourmmarksmanship skills. Another person to spot is very helpful along with at least 2-3 guns and lots of ammo. Build you amsimple shooting bench and have a blast.
Think about where they live and would you like you yard to look like that? My wife would have a name for every one of them, and call them pets.
Guess I need to weigh in on this. Been dinging dogs since the early nineties. Used to run 12-18000 rounds per year thru the tubes. All private land.
First know your weapons and how they shoot. (Accuracy. 1 moa is not good enough)
Second...know your bullet. You do not want richoette(sp) so no FMJ or solids or partitions or grandslams etc. There are livestock in the same pasture and be prepared to demostrate to the landowner exactly what your rounds accomplish.
Third...Be very respectful don't make ruts, or leave wires shot in to, or leave a gate open that was closed or close a gate that was open.
Fourth be more than willing to lend a hand(IF you know what you are doing) to help the rancher in his daily chores and fix-its.
Fifth... remember them at Christmas time and maybe take them something they like everytime you go out.
Lastly.... when you go out, take at least a 5 gallon bucket of common sense.

There are way to many people these days who DON'T do these things and thus its far more difficult now to get landowner permission to hunt.
Good post.
already thought about it....no mowing for me!!!
No offense, but 3800fps out of a 30-30 is B.S. There is no way you could pack enough powder in a 30-30 casing to throw a 110gr bullet that fast. I load my 300WBY pretty hot with a 130gr barnes and only get 3550 or so. Not trying to be an A$$...just saying no way

Myself and some friends are thinking about trying this also.
From reading some posts it looks like the Lawton area may be a good place to try.

It would be better if we had a place to go guaranteed. We live in the Tulsa area.
