How many prarie dogs does your truck get per mile Nut?
The historical range of the blacktailed
prairie dog included portions of
11 States, Canada, and Mexico (Hall and
Kelson 1959, p. 365). The black-tailed
prairie dog currently exists in 10
States—Colorado, Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and
Wyoming. The species occurs from
extreme south-central Canada to
northeastern Mexico and from
approximately the 98th meridian west
to the Rocky Mountains. It has been
extirpated from Arizona (Arizona Game
and Fish Department 1988, p. 26). Range
contractions have occurred in the
southwestern portion of the species’
range in New Mexico and Texas through
conversion of grasslands to desert shrub
(Pidgeon et al. 2001, p. 1773; Weltzin et
al. 1997, pp. 758–760). In the eastern
portion of the species’ range in Kansas,
Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and
Texas, range contractions are largely
due to habitat destruction by cropland
development (Black-footed Ferret
Recovery Foundation 1999, entire).
I kill plenty of critters with my vehicle. Chipmunks are given no quarter.
