Man, I wish I could find even a sparse dog town anywhere. I've taken my boys several years to E astern Oregon for this same purpose and have gotten skunked every time. In six years we've only scratched out three rabbits, prairie dog towns in places that don't cost $500/day/person just don't exist like they did twenty years back. I'm jealous and would gladly drive to Montana for any type of success!1. Even a Herb and Kurt Mueller custom Sako .221 Fireball has to be reloaded.

Ok, ok, ok, I'm ignorant and sometimes lazy-Belding Squirrels are what I'm referring to. They live in the Alfalfa fields, LOL. We could really use some pointers so the boys can get "hooked" on the sport. My youngest went out with a good family friend this weekend for deer just to get out, I feel bad as I've been completely tied up at work for the last two months and really ready for a normal five day work week. I've made progress though, haven't needed the sleeping bags I've had in my truck for almost a whole week now. It sucks being Public Works Superintendent, when sh!t breaks, you don't get a life until it's fixed. Sometimes that means waiting until next budget cycle as taxpayers don't want to spend money on under ground things they use every day but take for granted. The large pay increase was not worth it by any stretch and wish I could go back to being a "worker" but that ship has sailed, I hired my replacement a year ago and he's freaking awesome.I didn't think we had any prairie dogs in oregon? I've seen alot of them in SD when we travel back to visit family
Gotcha! Sage rats....I could put you on touch with a guy down by kfalls that would let you shoot some. That's why I'm just stating a "worker" I've been the boss and it's not worth it to me.Ok, ok, ok, I'm ignorant and sometimes lazy-Belding Squirrels are what I'm referring to.

Yep, the money was my draw and found out the extra $/hour in the form of salary is working out to be a pay cut. I'd gladly pay or give a nice gift to someone who could point me to a place for my kids to get the their first hunting experience. We are all very well versed in the safety rules and I trust the kids with any of my firearms, they are only locked up because of the liability built into unjust laws. If you have a contact that wouldn't put you in a weird situation I would gladly accept/trade/barter.Gotcha!

That would be very helpful!I was down there last summer working on a wolf project and seen a pile of them. I'll get you Robert's contact info

I saw a pair of Prairie Dogs last spring on a ranch south of Burns where we shoot sage rats. I didn't think they were in Oregon.I didn't think we had any prairie dogs in oregon? I've seen alot of them in SD when we travel back to visit family
I've seen rock chucks down there. I would be interested to know how many and what areas they are in.....look at our wolf population here now so I guess anything is possibleI saw a pair of Prairie Dogs last spring on a ranch south of Burns where we shoot sage rats.

I suspect what you saw were most likely rock chucks (yellow-bellied marmots) as they will occasionally stand upright (somewhat) and create the appearance of a prairie dog.I saw a pair of Prairie Dogs last spring on a ranch south of Burns
So much for "Theater of the Mind".
