Well, the ongoing issues of land development, sport shooting, and the rancher’s war on these animals keeps prairie dog populations from ever booming. This was back in 2003 so it is hard to say where those numbers fall now. Not too bad eatin’, huh? This, in the end, will be the demise of this beautiful raptor.
