lets hear some vermin spots

[mr_will]

anyone have decent spots for prarrie dogs, rabbits, or even coyotes.
I had a trip planned for Weld county and i think that got put on hold so I am looking for another spot. would like to find a local spot. Alot of dogs between pueblo and canon but I have no idea who owns that land.

I think guys will generally guard "their" spots unfortunately.

you basically have to get out there and start knocking on doors of people with p dog problems. One day this summer I knocked on 7 farm house doors and scored 2 solid spots to shot all the p doggies I want. I just walked up and said hey and that I noticed you had quite a few p dogs and could I please help you out. 5 said no and 2 said yes! one yes was plenty.

One spot I can turn you on to up in Wyoming though is the shirley basin area just north of medicine bow (the town). Its all BLM, so bring your 4x4. Its a long drive but as the ranger told me "you can melt out a couple barrels up there if thats what you want to do..." and he was spot on! there is so much $hit to shoot up there and all you need is a hunters saftey card....no small game tag required...epic spot...make a weekend trip out of it...you can free camp on the BLM land or head back to medicine bow to one of the little motels there.

I'm new to Co. Where are some good places to look for farms with pest problems?

Free Prairie Dogs ....


I saw a sign like this on State land just across the Nebraska border years ago. lol
You can get there in 3 hours. If that sign was in (Boulder), Colorado "Peta" would have a fit! Probably have news crews, helicopters, and protesters swarming the place.

I know it's a little bit of a drive, but once you get out around Limon they are begging for people to shoot them.
Coyotes too.
The closer you get to Kansas, the more willing people are to let you hunt their property.
A bonus, once you get to know these people, most will also let you hunt their "prairie maggots" as they call them.(Antelope)

If you get a yes from somebody don't forget to ask if they know of anybody else that has a problem that they would like help with and they will usually tell you the next person to contact....so the door knocking ends.

I usually go out to Seibert and Flagler, just south of I-70.

Stopping at the little towns and going to local businesses like the Co-op usually works as well, since everybody knows everybody and knows where the problem areas are.

Some of the "problem" areas are miles wide and miles long.

Thank you very much, sir. I don't mind driving to Kansas or Wyoming. Limon os nothing. I'd be glad to make the trip. Thank you for the advice.

This may be a stupid question, but I've never tried p-dog sniping. Is a scoped .22 rifle adequate for this? Or do you really need a faster, flatter shooting varmint rifle? I'd love to do some rat shooting, but I don't really want to buy a special gun for it. Might be fun with my Mosin though....

[rondog]

Hello? Same question about using a .22, thanks!
