Tough time on the prairie.

Could it be the Plague.

[@robertgreear7919]

WE have bubonic plague wiping out our prairie dog here in Wyoming.

[@ernestpatterson7153]

My experience in NM is plague or drought. Ranchers are happy. Just look at those thistles that grow up when those prairie poodles decimate the pasture vegetation. But the remaining burrows are still open and dangerous.

😂kinda feel guilty bout it now...😂😂😂

[@kbar193-9]

Plague....😢

[@melectrician]

2 big towns we have hunted here in Montana for a decade got decimated. Sad to see

[@trentsnaza3372]

Beautiful SD buddy!!! Hell ya!

[@tacticalmattfoley]

That's wild!!!

[@jimreed6653]

I was in WY the first part of June this year there was no plague in the area where I hunted. I had a very successful trip. Where did you get the drivers side grab handle for your truck?

[@cavedweller1959]

The ol Toyota is pretty much factory on the inside.

[@jimreed6653]

@@cavedweller1959 What year truck is yours. I would like to get the drivers side grab handle.

[@RimfireAddicted70]

Those mounds look grown over to me. Could be any number of things but the town looks dead I agree. I'd keep my eyes open for ground owls and coyote tracks. If the dogs are gone they leave a gap in the food chain for that area predators move on. When we shot Pdogs in the Dakotas we usually saw a good number of ground owls in and amongst the the towns. A rancher told us they nest in the old burrows and the dogs make great alarms for them. Those owls sure eat the dead ones, we've watched them pick them in the evening from our hill top.

I was up in sw ND a month ago and the dogs were thick

[@codymiller9930]

I've heard Bubonic has hit NW SD this year.

[@224valk4]

We were in western Nebraska 1st week in June. We had plenty of targets, but still not like last year? We heard plague was in Buffalo Gap just north west of where were.

[@gaylenegregg-6477]

Look for crows magpies and badgers if they are gone as well as the gophers they have been poisoned hi from Canada

[@garywells3874]

I heard that there was a case of the Plague in Colorado.

[@carbonspyder235]

[@Glenfilthie1]

Probly been poisoned…

[@14goldmedals]

You’ll usually see a few dead yodel-dogs if there are poisoned dirt rats. Plus the scavenger type birds congregating.
