They're back and they're more elusive than ever!  Welcome to Prairie Dog Hunt 2: Judgment Day.  Better graphics. Faster P. Dogs. Gruesome exploding animation. New sounds.... ooooh, looks like fun!

The object of the game is, basically, to kill helpless Prairie Dogs.  They don't deserve it, they didn't do anything wrong, but Hey! it's fun!

Each round in the game consists of a certain number of P. Dogs that you decide.  Select the speed at which the P. Dogs move from burrow to burrow. From easy and slow, to Dog Master level for those with a quick mouse hand and a keen eye.

Points are awarded depending on which weapon is used and the difficulty setting of the game.  The smaller the gun, the more accurate you must aim to score a hit, thus generating more points.

Important Information...

Prairie Dog Hunt 2: Judgment Day requires that a 'Small Font' video driver be loaded for resolutions of 800x600 or higher.  Some video card manufacturers (Western Digital and Diamond especially) distribute incorrect Small Font drivers with their cards, causing graphics problems to occur.  If the game behaves erratically, or looks funny, switch to standard VGA.  If this clears up the problem, then the drivers are at fault.  Contact your video card manufacturer for their latest drivers.
