When I lived in Wyoming I hunted, (or had access) to thousands of acres of BLM land. Was there last summer and went out with my brother-in-law and had some fun. The area around Rock Springs has more open land than you could hunt in years.
I live in Rock Springs and have killed all the P-dawgs off.. Nothing to see here folks
Actually I suck at coyote killin.. But p-dawgs are another storyWait a minute! I had been waiting for you to chime in. I thought you had taken care of the coyote problem?
It's exactly what I do in Ohio. Go have breakfast in a local diner after a fall bowhunt( since I'm there anyway). Ask about ground hogs( obviously were talking different animals but same idea). Be surprised how many people hate em. Then the door is open. That a great recommendation. One that many are a bit intimidated by.I would just hit up a café and talk to the people there to get access. Unless it is wet you can take a car to any of the towns I have ever been to.
Yes really makes no sense heading out West to sit in a diner HOPING to find someone willing to let you hunt there land. 18-20 hours on the road only for a big Zero. Helps if you make trips to an area for a different reason and can do your homework. Definitely hiring a guide does make the most sense in many cases. Also helps to still do your homework looking and shopping for the best prices also get references. That helps alot.“Guided” trips always sound crazy to people who know the area. For folks who must plan a year ahead and travel hundreds of miles it makes all kinds of sense.
My area is a trout fishing mecca. The river is there all day long but thousands of people hire guides. They want to show up, catch a bunch of fish, have a great time and go back home. Possible but not probable without hiring a local guide.

Too each there own on what they believe is fair vs too high. I paid 125.00 per day for a ranch house on a 10,000 acre property full of dog towns plus the owner escorted us to the towns each day for 5 days. Pretty darn good deal. I shop around and research...ALOT before pulling the trigger on an all inclusive hunt. Many guys just find one and pay. It's easy, fast and one and done. To each there own. If your looking for the answer "yes 300.00 is too high, well, it is for me. Especially when I know I can find a better price with the same productivity in dog towns. Short answer is...How much time do you want to spend looking ? Good luck.
I'll get you a contact number where I shot dogs back some years ago. Great guy, great time but I think the dogs were poisoned a few years after I shot out there. May be that they repopulated and they are huntable again.Do you have any contact info for this (or another ) place. Would like to plan something for next year.
Here you go Sir. Dave TenBrooke is his name. He owns a ranch and house on that ranch where his guests stay. It's an inclusive deal in his rate. You need only bring food and shooting gear. He supplies bedding, pots, pans, etc. Fully equipped home ready to go. Good luck and let me know if he still hosts prairie dog shooting. I've been planning on doing a whitetail hunt with him eventually.Do you have any contact info for this (or another ) place. Would like to plan something for next year.

8300 acre working cattle ranch. He will escort you out daily to shooting locations and leave you there until evening or whatever you discuss. You just follow him to the locations and back out when the day is done. Again, not sure the prairie dog population today. I think I paid 125.00 per day with lodging to shoot prairie dogs.fantastic. I'm sure if I contact them, they'll be able to give me the lay of the land.
