I want to take a trip out to either western south dakota or eastern montana and hunt prairie dogs this summer. I have never hunted prairie dogs before and I am wondering how to get permission/acess to good prairie dog land?

Thanks,

I can tell you how I do it and it may help. I pick up the phone call my sister and tell her I am coming out for a couple days. Drive out and shoot all of hers then go to all the neighbors and shoot theirs. Usually before the weekend is over at least one neighbor will come by and ask if I will shoot theirs too. Never run out of targets.

If you want to shoot on private land it really is as simple as finding pds and asking. But I have never shot them in Montana or SoDak so things may be different there.
You may want to check into WY which has more public land than anywhere available for shootin pds.

western Ne around morril and scottsbluff, and eastern WY around torrington have tons of prarie dogs. nobody will turn you away.

I antelope hunted at hell creek ranch a few years ago, after our hunt we went dog hunting. what a blast.
