I want to shoot rock chucks

Hard part is I’m in Minnesota and I don’t know anyone. Trying to find people who do this type of stuff so I can learn how and get connections.


Find your hometown/regional sub boards here and on other gun forums.

It's spring time. Get out there and become a key part of your community. Attend truck and auto meetups, ranch and farm related contests, gun shows, etc.

Forging strong communities ties is what created America and kept us safe, and in this era of Internet "doomscrolling" and "brainrot", physical participation and forming active community level bonds and friendships is MORE essential than ever.
 
To reinforce my post above, always keep in the forefront of your mind that discouraging individuals from forming meaningful real life friendships and family circles by

1: Isolation, via BS health scares or addictive social media algorithms designed to keep people indoors and scrolling perpetually,

2: Division, via heated political and social topics,

3: Importation, of mass quantity aggressive foreign entities who share no cultural or political heritage to the people and structures they seek to replace,

4: Forced buyouts of long term native inhabitants and their holdings,

... is how the global left seeks to dismantle every single country they want to own and control. However, it can be stopped in it's tracks by the simple act of each one of us saying 'good morning' to another person we know who shares beliefs and terms with us on similar standing, having a conversation, helping them with a project, etc... A close, actively defended and wholesome community cannot be subverted or undermined.

Good luck bud,

I 100% agree with everything stated above and I’ve talked local. Lots of coyote opportunities local but my dad talked about friends that knew people and places west of us and they’d shoot for days. 1000s of rounds and tons of prairie dogs. Most are now poisoned off. We both love mountains and want to try further west. Hard to connect with people in Montana/idaho when I’m in Minnesota. Trying any method I got to find connections.

Don't come to Idaho.
It's hard enough for us life long Idahoans to find a place to shoot chucks, or coyotes, or deer, or elk......
 
Me and my father love heavy varmint rifles and want to use them for what they were intended for. Finding places to shoot rock chucks, prairie dogs and other ground squirrels hasn’t been working out very well on my end. Anyone got any tips?

I’m a newer member and I don’t even know if I’m allowed to post this here or not.
For the “out west” stuff try some googling for ranches offering P dog hunting. Probably will be some camping involved, but modest prices compared to larger game.

I shot the Nightforce ELR match in ‘19. Stormed pretty good the Sunday night after the match. We got the RV stuck in the gumbo Wyoming mud being naive Alaskans. The ranch boss let us shoot P dogs until the road dried enough to drive out. We had more fun shooting those things with 338’s and 7 wsm’s than we did shooting the actual match. I looked it up later, found that ranch offered daily rate P dog hunts for $75. On the drive out, saw 4-5 different camps of guys shooting P dogs.
