Arizona Prairie dogs

I'm Going on Vacation the first week in April and want to know if someone can direct me to a location(s) in Arizona to shoot some prairie dogs... I understand there might be some in northern part of the state...? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Mark Milow

I don't think you'll find any as I believe they've been exterpated from that state. NM yes, CO yes, even Utah (though don't shoot ANY pdogs in Utah as there is a Utah P-Dog that is endangered).

Regards,

North and west of Seligman. which is on I-40 around 123 milepost. Good luck.

This has nothing to do with arizona, but what do you do with the p-dog body after you killed it?

Using either my .223 or my .50 cal muzzleloader, this isn't an issue. The body becomes part of the landscape. Lots of landscape.

Saw a bunch of dogs in a dog-town just west of Williams, AZ couple years back.

Don't know whether you can shoot there or not as it may have been private property. Good luck. Don't know whether they hibernate though. Kinda cold at 7,000 ft this time of year. To get there you leave Flagstaff and dirve about 30-35 miles west toward Kalifornia.....come over a rise and Williams is on left. Down in the valley on your right a re billboard and a ranch pond....the dog town is around this pond. Across the valley and up the hill on left is a restaurant. Lots of traffic. May not be too good a place. But if there then maybe elsewhere.

Don't touch it. PDs are normaly carrying fleas and in some cases the fleas carry B. Plague. At the local gun shop a few days we had quite a discussion about what happens to a dead PD. If predators got them, there would be some mighty fat coyotes around. The consensus was that they get dragged underground by other PDs and 'buried'. The day after a few hundred are killed in a 'town' you won't find any of the bodies lieing around. Bill Van Houten (USA Ret) 'No matter how hard you try, you can't throw a potato chip very far.'

they make great fertilizer

Feed them to the coyotes; They need love too.
