Few weeks ago my dad brother and I drove up to WY to shoot prairie dogs. We spent some time on Google Earth finding prairie dog towns and then figuring out which ones were on public land.
Took several .223’s and a couple larger calibers for longer shots and coyote calling. Got there and got setup around 9am and called for coyotes for a bit with no luck. Then set up the AR’s and got to shooting. Spent about 3 hours in one spot before we ran out of targets and moved just a few hundred yards up the hill to shoot off the other side. Spent a solid 5 hours here just shooting and there were still plenty left when we had to pack up for a nasty hail storm that was rolling in. Got loaded up and down the road to an overpass just in time as the hail started coming down like crazy. By then we had probably spent between 12-1500 rounds so figured we would pack it up anyways.
No license needed and no limit or season to shoot the dogs in WY, and there’s definitely no shortage of them. It’s an awesome way to get out and shoot some rounds during the off season, hopefully next time we can get into some coyotes too.
Took video of a few of the shots through the spotting scope, FYI there is some carnage in the video, so viewer discretion is advised:
