Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: Officially declared a 'varmint', the prairie dog may be hunted with no restrictions as to season, method, or number of animals taken. This documentary examines the prairie dog's role as a keystone species in the grasslands of the northern plains states. Ecologists, hunters, ranchers, and others are interviewed. Archival footage shows the U.S. government's official eradiction policy of the 1930's. The contemporary sport of varmint hunting is presented. |
