Hunting & Fishing Colorado P-Dog hunting???

[DP425]

Got a buddy I'm introducing to long range shooting- he mentioned wanting to do a P-Dog shoot. We grew up together- he went to college at Michigan Tech, I joined the Army. Years later I'm back in Michigan with the NG and he's in Milwaukee. He's married now and his wife has a lot of friends out in CO- it is our understanding there's some pretty good P-Dog hunting out there. Plan is for the three of us to head out there, his wife go off with her friends, him and I go slaughter some dogs.

Unfortunately, I ready P-dogs are protected on public land. So I'm looking for someone from the hide who might be able to direct me to a land owner interested in decreasing the p-dog population. We'd prefer to not have to pay any lease rights or anything like that, but we're entirely against it. Doesn't really NEED to be guided- just point us to the dogs and we can handle it from there.

Hopefully someone has some info for us! Thanks guys!

No help on the location, but you might want to check with someone (game and fish office or whatever they call it) in the state to see whether the dogs are still there. Meaning... South of Casper, WY, where a I've been the last several years, there USED to be dogs everywhere, but ~2 years ago, the plague wiped them out. As in all of them: areas that used to have dog towns all over the place now have one or two towns with less than 5 (visible) dogs in them. Folks there told me that it was spread nearly all the way across the state. SD has had the same thing in the SW area. I suspect if it's that widespread, CO might be affected as well (and NM, AZ, TX... who knows?).
