What is the best place and time for shooting the maximum number of prairie dogs under 200 yards ?
Feel free to include public, private, and outfitted places.
Have some older handicapped friends who would like to experience prairie dog shooting.
About 20 yards is all they could walk -- which is basically from a pickup truck to a bench. They're good enough to make consistent hits on prairie dog size targets up to 200, maybe 250, yards. Besides, beyond that distance the others would not see the aerobatics of the shooter's hits. They can handle low-powered wide-FOV binoculars on a tripod, but high magnification does not work for them.
Rockchucks might also interest them.
Thoughts ?
Used to shoot them all day long with a 22 LR and a 22 WMR on a ranch south of Malta, Montana. Could shoot the same ranch for five days and the prairie dogs kept coming up. Even used a 222 Remington and a 220 Swift, which didn't bother them too much.
