    Default feeding prairie dogs?

    i have been watching the mounds get closer and closer to my property for 2 years now and we finally have a couple in our yard(and i saw a live one the other day!) is there any sort of feed i can put out to encourage the population on my property so next year i will be able to shoot them without worry of decimating the colony?

    I would not feed them, they will get onto your property quick enough.

    If you don't shoot them there will be AT LEAST 3x as many next year on your land. I wouldn't encourage them at all. Once they're there, they will reduce your grass to dust. The only time I would feed them is to bait them out of a hole.

    Killing them actually stimulates more reproduction and their will be more, unless you are able to reduce a population by 70% in a short period of time.
