Utah Prairie Dogs?

[jbz519]

Next month, I'll be in SLC with a couple of down days.
UT-DWR says PD season's currently open and no license is required for those little buggers.
Are there any public lands within a couple of hundred miles that would make bringing the lead squirter worth while?

Thanks,

Darn, ya beat me to it John. Sorry about that.

John's a good dude and more fun than a barrel of monkeys !! A day of PDs with him is worth the time just in the laughs-value alone !!

SLC is pretty much surrounded by public lands... your best bet though is going to be to head south..... You cant shoot anywhere in salt lake county, but once you hit utah county you are good to go..... unfortunately I havent yet gotten into shooting prairie dogs, so I cant advise a specific place.... need to get myself a .204 ruger.....

You're better off to drive to WY....I take care of all the p/dogs in Utah....

Thanks for the info and tips but unfortunately I never did get a chance at them Utah prairie dogs.

A couple days before I was set to leave, I got a bad case of cold feet. Working for a Scandinavian company, I’m not sure just how understanding my employers would have been about me traveling on business with an AR and a couple hundred rounds of ammo.

So I decided to take the fly rod along instead and hit some of the classic streams up in Idaho. On the way back, I took a slight detour through Yellowstone, into a couple of the canyons north east of Salt Lake. I wound up overshooting SLC, finally turning around in Bonneville.

Absolutely stunning scenery and outstanding fishing!!!
