As Tlock said, there are no prairie dogs in Oregon. Most likely you were shooting Belding's Ground Squirrels. Shown below is a picture of a Belding's Ground Squirrel followed by a depiction of their ranges in Oregon and Idaho.

I would disagree with that map, I know for a fact that beldings ground squirrels live around Madras. and it looks like the map is further east.

OP, a lot of the private ranches contract with guide services. It makes it easier for the ranchers to not have to deal with the crowds. @flashpan has pointed you in a very good direction.
