Allan. I'm pretty new to this site and mostly do some lurking, but I have had some experience with prairie dogs. I farm/ranch in the Torrington Wy, region, and my sister actually goes to school up by you at Chadron State College. Anyways, the last few years have increased prairie dogs due to the drought. Shooting them is pretty ineffective, but can be a good relief for stress. We've found that the best bet is aluminum phosphite?. You'll have to have at least a private applicators licence to get the pills. They're the same thing used to control insects in grain. You place them in the hole, than cover up the hole. The moisture in the ground will release a noxious gas the kills the prairie dogs. They are a little hazardous and should be used with care. We've also used the oat bait type, but decided against it lately as you can't pasture with that out. They can be controlled but its a multi year process. Another effective technique is to let the grass grow. If the prarie dog can't see the surrounding area because of tall grass they will move out. We work on prarie dog control for several days every spring. David
