Intro to this species—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.
Summary
The prairie dog (Cynomys spp.) is a highly social ground rodent native to the grasslands of North America, characterized by its distinctive burrowing behavior and complex social structures. These small mammals have a stocky build, short limbs, and a bushy tail, typically displaying a coat of light brown or tan fur that provides effective camouflage against their natural habitat. Notably, prairie dogs communicate through a sophisticated system of vocalizations to warn of predators, making their towns vibrant ecosystems. Hunting prairie dogs offers unique challenges and requires strategic planning; their burrowing habits make them elusive targets, but they are often found in large colonies, providing opportunities for hunters to engage in both spot-and-stalk and long-range shooting techniques. Effective hunters must also consider factors such as wind direction, distance, and the prairie dog's behavior patterns to optimize success while adhering to ethical hunting practices.
Explore HuntsHunt Features
Prairie dog shoots on private Colorado ranches deliver fast-paced, all-year small-game action with no season or bag limits—just a valid small-game license. Fully guided multi-day packages include comfortable camp accommodations with beds and hot showers, field transportation, and opportunities to fire hundreds of rounds daily at targets from close-up work to long-range engagements. Hunters may bring rifles, scoped precision rigs, or even archery gear for a unique challenge, and large groups are welcome for friendly marksmanship competitions. These hunts offer an ideal way to sharpen shooting skills, enjoy wide-open prairie scenery, and customize the duration and pace of your adventure.
Explore HuntsAmenities
Prairie dog hunts are generally lodge-based, with most outfitters providing comfortable lodge rooms featuring standard beds and modern climate control. A few operations may offer more rustic or unspecified sleeping setups, depending on location and season. Heating and cooling is typically handled by modern HVAC systems in the main lodge, ensuring a comfortable base camp for both seasoned and first-time prairie dog hunters.
