Prairie dog shooting

[Shtngvarmints]

I live in Billings and looking to get rid of some gophers and Prairie dogs. If anyone could let me know of some good places to go around here it would be much appreciated.

Lots of BLM land North towards Malta.

northwest 10-30 miles. Either drive around and look or start knocking on doors.

You might check with the BLM or the Fish and Game and see it they can point you in the right direction.

Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming are all good places to go......good luck getting anyone to put you on their prime shooting spots.....

That thing doesn't have black feet.

Doesn't apply in Wyoming. It's a Utah thing

That thing doesn't have black feet.

That is because that is a weasel, not a ferret.

I thought it was a Senator...

"I thought it was a Senator..."

I thought it was a former candidate for US President who lost in 2016! I'm still not so sure it isn't.

I thought Weasels were much smaller. They are protected specie where ?

Much more attractive than the comrade from Arkansas.

The only protections I am aware of is where the black footed ferret has been reintroduced. For a while Thunder Basin in WY had a no PD hunting restriction (turns out it was only where there were PD's). Sounds like there is one in UT as well

Ferret: 1.5 - 4.4 lbs. 15 inches without the tail. Weasel: much lighter 11 - 22 inches w/o tail
