I am looking for a reliable place to go blow up prairie rats and Yotes. Any suggestions within a 2 hour drive of Denver, Thornton, Northglen?

Nothing available fits the description that's public land that I'm aware of.
The sad truth is that it's getting harder for all of us to find such a place, there for I can not release my secret places. However, I can tell you this, the best way to find places to shoot prairie rats is to simply find a field with lots of them and go knock on the nearest door. Not all but most people will gladly let you on their ground. I have secured tons of acreage and made some great friendships this way. The biggest tip I can give you when it comes to asking for permission is to not show up in full camo ready to kill. Take a day just to go out, find ground and get permission. Meet the owner and ask questions about his ground(where is it okay to shoot, any places he doesn't want you, locations of livestock, neighbors that might live over the next hill and so on). Get their number so you can call ahead a day or two to let them know you are coming out. Good luck

^^ the above.. the few lands we go to are privately owned.
Wyoming is nice this time of year.![]()
The Shirley Basin north of Laramie is a good place to shoot some dogs if you want to make a day trip. The last time I was up there it was good shooting. No body else around, and you don't need a small game license to shoot em. A buddy and I set up about ten different places and shot hundreds of rounds and killed lots of rats.

I'm curious.
For those of you for have secured permission to hunt pdogs & yotes on someones private land, what do YOU (each person is different, so I'd love to hear everyones responses) do with the carcasses?

dead prairie dogs will get cleaned up pretty quick by all kinds of other critters, so it's a no brainer to leave them lay. But the fur market makes selling coyotes worth while, in the winter.
