#1  One pika gun? Pikas are kinda like marmots, and live mostly in South America. Can someone explain, please? Normally all you need to hunt small varmits is a .22 rifle. Marmots are on the protected list in the US, but there are plenty of prairie dogs to hunt. It's not very sporting, but the little rascals can really tear up a lawn.
