• Prairie dog hunting is popular in South Dakota.prairie dog image by Poleboy G from Fotolia.com
  
  South Dakota's Prairie Dog Management Plan was passed in 2005 in order to give ranchers and landowners control guidelines and funds to take care of unwanted prairie dog populations on privately owned land. This has allowed guides and hunting companies to be able to lead prairie dog hunts on private land during the official prairie dog hunting season in the fall. There are many companies that offer prairie dog hunting packages in the Mitchell, South Dakota, area.
