In for a response. I see them all over the Tech Center...but that's probably off limits

This subject comes up pretty frequently, the census is you need to know someone with land. A few reported success door knocking. I have heard their are some suitable areas in southern Wyoming but I've never checked that claim out.

As BenCO said.....private land is the way to go. Start knocking on doors. Yes its a pain, but unless you know someone, its about the only way to get access.

Basically it's impossible. Better be best friends with someone with 10s of acres out east. Or 100s.

I gave up years ago. Makes me question owning rifles in the first place.

Literally willing to pay to kill some. No one is down, oh well, their loss

There are some on public land but they are usually very weary so shots will be very far. Like other have said you have to put time in, find out who owns land with them and go ask.

I know two land owners and between them I have a few hundred acres to shoot them on out near Sterling.

I would think Pawnee should be good to go?

they're extinct on Pawnee that I know of for the last 10 years. It seems every time the show up they get lead poisoning.

Private land is the way to go. Supressors help also.
