Places to hunt prairie dogs?

My neighbor drives out to northern kansas to hunt pheasants, I'll ask him if he has knows prairie dog permissions.

Pretty sure Kansas has a Walk in hunting program where private properties are marked as open for public hunting....pretty sure no one will miss a few pdogs out there!

We have Pdogs here in N AZ. There's some north of the I-40 west of Ash Fork. Haven't hunted them yet but have almost ran a few over on my dirt bike.

I just tried setting up a guided hunt in the Dakota's but the guide told me he won't take anyone with an airgun. Due to all the shots being past 100 yards. I never hunted them before and would like to, but only with air. The powder just doesn't do it for me anymore.

I've hunted prairie dogs for years and I've noticed if you want to successfully use a pcp, you need to shoot out a truck and in an area where the pdogs are used to vehicles. In places where the town is in a remote area, you'll soon be trying to shoot out to 150+ yards after a few shots.

Honestly, with my experience with PDs in Utah and Wyoming in the past I would say that you are doing to find slim pickens for PDs this time of year.

The PDs for most of the northern regions should start to bed down for the winter, so don't expect much action in KS and similar until the spring. Maybe try for now rabbits, starlings and etc, different targets but you can take some long shots still, if that is what you want. Recently, someone asked me about rock chucks here in Idaho and I said they are down for the winter doing what they do, and so don't expect them back up with out rare exception until March 2022 I would say as a general rule, ground / burrowing rodents tend to be season (normally) from above to below ground stand point.

Are rock chucks plentiful like prairie dogs are in a small area? What states are they in?

@jdh2550 in the north Western Rockies generally, higher altitudes above 3000 ft.

There at around 5000 feet here.

From KC MO I would investigate CO I saw a lot out there this past spring when I was in the Denver area. Here is some basic info for you to get started

You can hunt prairie dogs with a sling shot if you wish. My experience is there is almost always wind to contend with and most of the shots are 200 yards and out. You’ll get some close ones pop up from time to time if you are willing to sit and wait. If you can hit a soda can in the wind at 200 yards you probably will be able to get a few. Or if you are lucky to find a town that’s never been shot in and a calm day. Unlikely. Typical conditions expect to be frustrated . Some people walk hunt them making close shots. That could work but I personally don’t like hunting that way . Most of the walk hunters use 17 HMR . 

I've hunted them in AZ, typically people don't give up hunting spots. Finding a good area that has an abundance isn't always easy, especially on public land. Some Indian reservations will charge for access, this could be an option. Sometimes you just need to fill up the gas tank, put on some boots and do the footwork to find spots. The Prairie Dogs from my experience are most active in morning and early evening, especially on hot days.
