RE: what is the most amount of prarie dogs anyone has killed
Well we dont have Prarie dogs here iin Oregon but the equivelant is sage rats, wich are nearly the same size and a little chunkier, i set a personal best on my last trip and shot 34 of them.

RE: what is the most amount of prarie dogs anyone has killed
A few years back in northeastern kansas near the nebraska border. In our huntin party we had 4 guys a 243 and 2 .223's and 1 22-250 after 3 days our grand total was 756 Prairie dogs and 12 coyotes. I personally shot 198 prarie dogs and 1 coyote with 52 grain speer HPBT handloads from My Rem M700 VLS in .223. But only been back there once since then and there were hardly any Prairie dogs around I shot only 12 that trip they said the population declined do to drought but I think we just shot them all the year before. LOL

I have never kept track of how many we have killed
Ditto!. I went out last Sat., took two rifles and I can tell ya that I fired just over 100 rds. If I had to guess, I'd say that about 80% were kill rounds, mostly because I was taking my time between shots and not shooting past about 250 yards. I went to two different dog towns, neither one is real big, yet!

RE: what is the most amount of prarie dogs anyone has killed
Last fall after I tagged my antelope I got bored and tried some shooting with my .25-06. I shot six times and killed four at about 250yds. I think summer time shooting would be a hoot. I don't think I'd use the .25-06 though.
