| Before you actually hire an outfitter for a prairie dog shoot you may consider contacting the DNR or DOW in the proposed state. They may be able to hook you up at no charge. With my limited experience having an outfitter take you out to get pds is like having him take you to the rifle range. I am not an expert in the life cycle of prairie dogs but I understand that by mid May the pups are weened. After that anytime is a good time. The places I go it makes little difference as they are out with the sun year around. |

| LWR Ranch in Martin, SD. LWR Ranch Jon and Sherry are the best. Can't go wrong. |

| I had LWR all lined for an important client who was going to fly his private plane in, and was going to be accompanied by a shooter in a wheelchair. At the last minute they had to cancel. LWR was so great, they were extremely helpful in getting things ready for this "special" shoot and were very gracious when we had to cancel. Although I've never been up there (for me personally, I have dogtowns to shoot in NE without a guide...)I can tell you they're first rate folks.

| I second skb2706. With a little research and a few phone calls you can set up on some good towns on your own. We stopped by a Ranger station in a National grassland and the women working was kind enough to shade in with pencil all the P-dog towns she new of within the public land. She was right on with her directions and we had a blast. We had 3 full days of shooting, with 600-800 rounds fired apiece, all on public land. |
