About Our Prairie Dog Hunts in Colorado
Most important info about these hunts—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.
Summary & Terrain
Eastern Colorado’s shortgrass prairie and agricultural lands offer some of the most accessible and action-packed varmint hunting in the country. On private ranchlands, sprawling prairie dog towns create a checkerboard of burrow systems and level shooting benches—even sunflower fields and irrigated pastures can support dense colonies. Hunts typically operate out of a comfortable deer camp, but in the field you’ll move among open flats and gently rolling terrain where visibility often extends for hundreds of yards.
Prairie dog hunts in Colorado are rated moderate in difficulty—few physical demands but solid marksmanship is required. Most hunters employ scoped rifles from prone or bench-rest positions, picking off targets at 100 to 300 yards. Wind reading and rapid target transition are key skills, making these hunts ideal for honing follow-up shots. Guides help locate active towns and set up strategic shooting stations, ensuring steady action throughout the day. Whether you’re a beginner seeking to refine fundamentals or an experienced shooter chasing precision, prairie dog hunts offer non-stop opportunities to test your rifle skills.
Prairie dog hunts in Colorado are typically based from comfortable lodges or ranch-style accommodations, with occasional rustic camp options for those seeking a back-to-basics experience. Guests sleep on standard beds in private or semi-private rooms, ensuring a good night’s rest before morning shoots. Most facilities feature modern climate control systems to maintain a pleasant indoor environment year-round, and common areas often include heated living spaces, kitchens, and gear storage. Meal service and guide support are woven into the daily schedule, so hunters can focus on the field while enjoying reliable lodging, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and temperature-regulated cabins or lodges.
Colorado allows year-round prairie dog hunting on private lands with no bag limits—only a valid small game license is needed. Typical packages run three to four days and include lodging at a ranch camp with beds, showers, and meals. Many outfitters also bundle pigeon or mourning dove hunts to round out your small-game experience. These hunts appeal to newcomers looking for a first rifle adventure as well as seasoned hunters sharpening their fieldcraft in a relaxed, all-inclusive setting.
Prairie dog hunts in Colorado typically run around $3,500 per person. Rates vary based on hunt duration, lodging style, and guide support. Entry-level trips often cover a full day of shooting from lodge-based platforms with shared guide teams and standard meals. Mid-range packages generally include two-day hunts, private or semi-private rooms in climate-controlled lodges, all meals, and dedicated guide support. Premium options may add rustic camp-style stays, extended hunt days, firearm or ammo rental, and small guide-to-hunter ratios for a more personalized experience. Regardless of tier, most outfitters provide comfortable accommodations, daily meals, and full field support to ensure efficient shooting and hassle-free logistics.
FAQs
What you need to know before you book:
What type of terrain should I expect when hunting prairie dogs in Colorado?
Prairie dog country in Colorado is characterized by high-plain grasslands and gently rolling hills. Most ranches feature shortgrass prairie with scattered burrow colonies and earthen mounds. You’ll be walking or glassing from truck beds across flat to undulating fields, so sturdy boots and a pair of binoculars or a spotting scope are essential for picking out active towns.
What methods are commonly used to hunt prairie dogs in Colorado?
The most common approach is open-field rifle hunting using varmint calibers such as .22-250, .204 Ruger or 17 HMR. Hunters often glass from a vehicle or tripod to locate colonies, then move in on foot or set up ground blinds downwind of active towns. Calling with electronic or manual prairie dog distress calls can bring curious animals to the surface for clean, humane shots.
Are prairie dog hunts in Colorado conducted on public or private land?
The vast majority of prairie dog shoots take place on private ranchland, where landowners welcome hunters to help control rodent populations. Hunts are arranged through outfitters who secure landowner permission. Public-land opportunities exist in limited areas of BLM ground, but they require additional permits and are less predictable in terms of access and colony density.
