Prairie Dogging In The South

[STS]

In the south of Montana that is. We finally a nice day today so we decided to make a short p-dog run. Shot a couple hundred of the little buggers along with a few gophers too. Not a bad day all things considered. As you can see the lodging was first class all the way.

Just here to giggle at the title
That old building is cool!

 

[Bill Norris]

Yep. Nice shooting shack no doubt.

Beautiful in a rustic sorta way

Nice accommodations. I especially like the shooting ports built into the windows.

It looks to be approximately the same vintage as a soddy I briefly stayed in some years ago. My "room mates" were spiders, which after some investigation, I believe were left over from when the dinosaurs roamed the area.

Just curious, in southern Montana, what color do you use for “envious?”

I guess that would be "Blood Red". That old house is made of field stone picked up off the pastures of the ranch. In that area that flat rock is just laying on the surface all over the place. I've been told it's over 100 years old. I don't know exactly how big that ranch is, but I can tell you that from that house to the nearest maintained road is a 45 minute drive and one of the dog towns that we shot in is another 10 to 15 minutes further in. You do not want to get stuck in a mud hole out there. Here's another winter time participant in the fun.

Man-o-man, if that old stone house could only talk. At over 100 years old, it sure must have some stories to tell if it only could.

Glad you were able to get out for the dogs. With the wild unpredictable weather we've been having, one must catch a shooting weather window when we can this year.

What do they get for an over night stay at that luxury motel?

Happy for you partner. Would iffn I could!

I dunno. We tried calling ahead for reservations but nobody answered the phone. I suppose they were too busy to take my call.

Your title got me. Was recently commenting on another thread about wanting to hunt prairie dogs here in south Florida. Fuel and other expenses to get out West again have made it unreasonable for me to maybe ever hunt them any more.

Good you are having fun and sharing it with us in the South.
