Wyoming Prairie Dog Hunting
Prairie Dog Facts
Wyoming prairie dogs weigh
anywhere from 1-3 pounds and are very abundant.
Prairie dogs cause a lot of problems for ranchers and their livestock; that is why
I, Tyler Sims, want to connect prairie dog hunters and ranchers together to control
the problem.
Wyoming prairie dogs like sunny days with temperatures of about 60-70 degrees--
this is why I encourage hunters to book their hunts in June or July when the grass
is short and the weather is at it's best. When a prairie dog is born, it will stay in its
mother's den for about 6 weeks. The prairie dog will soon emerge from the den
and be seen above ground where they are very vulnerable to predators.
Hunt information
You will have over 450,000 acres of land to hunt. You may choose to shoot prairie dogs in the rolling hills or the wide open plains of Southeastern Wyoming.
You will be located in Arlington, Wyoming where it is not uncommon to view
the beautiful wildlife that roam the land: deer, elk, moose and much more!
Commonly used calibers
You are able to bring which ever caliber of gun you choose. Big or small, factory or custom, whatever kills a prairie dog is welcome at my camp!
Most common caliber of rifles used are:
17 HMR
22 Magnum
223 Remington
22-250
220 Swift
243
Keep in mind that smaller calibers, such as a 17 HMR, have a harder time reaching long distances.
Shooting benches
The shooting benches will be provided by Tyler Sims Outfitters.
Wyoming State Board of Outfitters only regulates big game and trophy game animals and they do not control varmints.
