OK... it's been years since I last investigated the idea of shooting prairie dogs but the kids are grown now, I've long since retired from the Army, and I'm half way to a second retirement.
I have the time but not lots of $$ so I thought I'd ask straight up questions here about going to SD or the likes to finally do something I've always wanted to do... shoot prairie dogs.
I'm in central FL and have the option of driving, taking in the sights on the way to/from, or fly.
To those who have done the guide thing and self-hunt thing, what's your recommendation? What state(s) should I consider?
Seems a guided hunt will be about $1,200 +/- for three days... looks like a good trouble-free option and not too pricy considering, or not?
Seems the days of just driving around hunting private land are gone, or so I've read, which I find understanding and not surprising... I hunt deer and hogs down here on my own property and private property I have access to so I get it.
It's June now, I'm late for this year I suppose so I'm starting to really look hard at next Spring.
Comments and recommendations welcome... thanks.
