I see them up close, 400-500 yards and it's just no fun. I look hard for them out there around 1000 yards and see if I can make them stand up and pay attention. Plus, they're getting so gun shy that they hide when your close. The ones out at 1000 are not paying attention. haha

I used one of those rubber squirrel calls that you use your hand to shake back and fourth. If you do it right it does sould like a squirrel, and if you shake it real fast and not let it swing as far between. Switching movements. It sounds like a prarie dog. Making that sweet yelp like they do. I found this will really make them heads pop up, (just enough).

On what basis?

People think my area in WA state is so wonderful because it's so "diverse" (which means liberal, by the way), and because it's green and lush. I hate it here because the liberals have helped with the loss of good paying blue-collar jobs and have raised housing to ridiculous levels. And all this green, lush landscape comes from about 10 months of rain and gloom.
So- what is one's person's paradise could be another person's hell.
This is America- we can live wherever the heck we want to- if you don't like the area you live in- move and then stop bitching about someone else's town that they might just be proud of!
Hi guys. Why don't you take a look at this thread over in the Idaho section...

If you had to rely on your crops and your land to feed yourself and your family, you'd think differently about killing prairie dogs.

Also, if you get a chance, read the Bible and what it says in the book of Genesis, 1:26 ".. and let man have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
