A non regulated animal in Arizona right?
If so that means no weapon restrictions or hunting licsense needed right? A friend wants to know. |

Quoted:
They are regulated - there is a season and the normal legal methods of take apply, including the necessity for a hunting license. Where in the heck are the regulations posted then? I have the reptile’s book and the General Hunting and trapping regulations and cannot recall seeing anything about them. A search on the AZG&F site only brings up the black tailed version and from what I can deduce is that they are off limits. There was a mention of the Gunnison’s prairie dog up north and I’m assuming that’s the one that are at the ranch up off the I40/Route 66. I’ll do some more digging, thanks. |

My deer tag is in 18A, did a bunch of scouting up there yesterday. One of the ranches had a bunch of p-dogs. I didn't know there was a season 'cause if I had my AR I would have popped a good dozen easy.  Now I know!
PS - this ranch was up by the caverns. |
